Datwyler Production System (DPS) Model
The Datwyler Production System has been developed and is based on Datwyler’s existing company values and lean principles. Operational excellence is our ultimate goal and consists of six dimensions: Safety, Quality, Delivery, Costs, Environment, and People.
State-of-the-art facilities.
All facilities are geared towards optimal manufacturing processes for each respective product group. In this respect, the FirstLine® facility in Belgium is specially designed to manufacture pharmaceutical rubber components in a fully integrated GMP environment using innovative automated processes, and conforming to the highest industry standards. Its use of innovative energy saving techniques means that this facility is also designed according to the latest environmental sustainability standards.
Equally advanced is our fully automated facility in Schattdorf, where we manufacture consumer goods. This facility is built on proprietary technology, with the entirely automated production process aimed at achieving perfectly manufactured parts at the rate of tens of millions per day.

A zero-defect philosophy.
We begin with the approach of quality by design, whereby the processes and products are designed according to a zero defect philosophy, and employing automated processes as far as possible. If you require, we can combine this process with proprietary inspection technology that guarantees 100% inspection of each individual part in your application.
As early as 1995 we were breaking ground with our first fully automated camera inspection system for rubber products for the Japanese medical market. Since then, we have continuously built on this experience, and are currently using our fourth generation of camera systems in a class 100 clean room.
It is thanks to this combination of exceptionally consistent and robust automated processes with detailed inspection tools that we can supply our customers with billions of parts per year, with each and every one of them meeting the requirements of a high quality product that you have come to expect.

Large-scale production.
Thanks to our extensive experience of a whole variety of production technologies, Datwyler has developed in-house processes to ensure that we can manufacture billions of products both economically and with zero defect capability. This has been made possible by building an extensive portfolio of technological expertise both in-house and in close cooperation with highly competent technological partners over many decades. Certain high quality products are manufactured at a rate that exceeds 25 million parts per day, with each individual part meeting the strict quality standards you expect.
Datwyler Sealing Solutions can offer you this unique proposition of top-quality components in the fields of pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, automotive, civil engineering and other industries worldwide, with contingency and risk mitigation integral to our agenda. For many customers we are the unique supplier of such solutions.
