Davies Molding Celebrates 80 Years of Plastic Molding Success


2013 marks the eighth decade of success for Davies Molding, LLC. Harry Davies began the company in 1933 with only seven molding presses and three punch presses in downtown Chicago.

Known as a phenolic molder, Davies manufactured numerous parts including knobs, handles, cases, ashtrays, and custom plastic components. It continued to grow during WWII and thrived afterwards, expanding its products and capabilities. The once small plastic molding company that stood in the Loop is now located in Carol Stream and is the largest manufacturer of plastic knobs and handles today.

"Our 80 anniversary is a real tribute to the quality products that we produce, and our commitment to meeting the plastic needs of our customers," says Derran Smith, President of Davies Molding, LLC. "Being one of the few molders that are efficient in Compression, Injection and Transfer molding, we offer a much wider range of custom molded services and materials to the marketplace. We plan to continue growing and developing innovative products well into the future."

A Davies' knob or handle can be found on countless products including industrial machinery, lighting equipment, lawn & garden equipment, power tools, cookware, barbecue grills, food processing equipment, medical & lab equipment, electronic equipment, fitness & recreational equipment, and more. Davies, an ISO 9001:2008 company, is dedicated to providing top quality customer service, along with low minimum order quantities and short lead times. Utilizing the latest 3-D CAD software, its engineers can help you create the perfect plastic part for your application. Free samples are available on standard parts.
