Davis-Standard moves blow molding machinery manufacturing to New York

Processing equipment maker Davis-Standard LLC has moved its accumulator head blow molding machinery operation from Bridgewater, N.J., to a leased 20,000-square-foot facility in leased space next to its Black Clawson plant in Fulton, N.Y.

The facility will be officially opened on Oct. 2.

The new facility, made possible by a lease agreement with custom metal fabricator Universal Metal Works (UMW), is located next door to Davis-Standard’s existing Fulton plant.

“The UMW facility is exactly what we needed in terms of space and location. We are grateful for their helping us make the Fulton expansion a reality,” said Floyd Backes, Davis-Standard’s director of operations for New York and New Jersey locations. “This enables us to relocate our blow molding business…[to] support ongoing efforts to achieve cost effective manufacturing and superior customer service.”

Pawcatuck, Conn.-based Davis-Standard supplies accumulator head systems for a variety of applications including automotive parts, packaging and consumer products.
