Best-in-Class Processing
The Datwyler Production System (DPS) ensures we produce best-in-class sealing solutions that meet the highest industry standards.
Dedicated DPS professionals drive continuous improvement within our production processes, allowing us to guarantee the highest quality, short lead times, and to deliver with maximum efficiency. Improvement is the driving force behind outstanding performance, and this extends to every area of our business. From efficient factory designs and layouts to reliable and future-proof technologies, all processes are monitored and scrutinized to the highest possible degree. A 100-percent inspection of our components guarantees compliance with our zero-defect philosophy.
Lean & Clean.
To ensure we deliver to the highest possible standards of cleanliness, we have established our proprietary "Lean & Clean" production concept in Switzerland. Based on this innovative production layout, mobility components are manufactured using highly automated processes in a specially designed environment, taking into account specific and stringent cleanliness requirements with regard to residual dirt.
Global Footprint & Services
Regardless of your location or area of operation, we aim to bring the qualities and capabilities of a global Swiss company right to your doorstep.
With 11 strategic locations across key mobility markets, including Europe, Asia, South America, and the NAFTA region, our state-of-the-art production sites guarantee the highest levels of service, expertise, and flexibility, exactly where you need it.
With the acquisition of the Brazilian company BINS in 2018, we further expanded our global footprint. Please find here more information about BINS.
Broad Range of Technologies
The comprehensive technical expertise we are able to share with you traverses a broad range of technologies.
Gathered and honed across decades of experience, we apply our specialist knowledge to areas such as; conceptual development, including prototyping; series production, utilizing the most effective and efficient processing technologies; and specialized production techniques. This powerful combination is designed to deliver to the highest standards, and always to your exacting requirements.
Strongly experienced in processing and molding.
Our experts in compression, injection, and transfer molding are able to take the individual technical requirements of your product and provide a manufacturing process that is designed to deliver both efficiently and effectively. By carefully considering specific process requirements when formulating a compound, we are able to test its processability prior to serial production. Our in-house mold shop enables us in developing customer-specific tool concepts and meet highest quality standards.
Elastomer-to-substrate bonding (multi-component parts).
Through our strong competence in bonding chemistry and materials in elastomer/metal and elastomer/plastic including LSR/TPL parts, we are able to add considerable value to your operation. With such multi-component parts, the design spectrum within the sealing and damping area can be fully utilized - often removing entire stages of the assembly process altogether. Furthermore, these multi-component parts offer superior design flexibility. With the use of modern processes such as plasma, the substrate surfaces can be cleaned or activated, by what amongst other things an optimum bonding performance can be achieved. Our in-depth expertise in bonding systems enables you to achieve a wide range of performance needs by creating components that typically resist aggressive media and cover a wide range of temperatures.
Surface treatment.
To guarantee that the functional properties of the sealing parts within your application are fully optimized, we not only develop the sealing materials but also the effective surface treatments that are used in conjunction. The functional surfaces provide added value in many areas, including improved assembly processes, superior barrier properties, enhanced compatibility, greater bonding performance etc.
To address the ever-rising customer requirements and to ensure also in future the best possible outcomes, we are currently building a state-of-the-art Advanced Surface Center. This customer-centric facility will feature an advanced modular application lab for surface treatments (cleaning, plasma activation, phosphating, application of bonding agents, etc.) and a progressive surface analytics lab. This facility will also enable us to test and develop new surface technologies that improve assembly processes, enhance barrier properties as well as support greater compatibility and superior adhesion.
