Lead times cut

The development of new production processes plus continued investment in new people and plant has allowed seal engineering business James Walker to make significant reductions in lead times across a growing number of the company's range of static, rotary, hydraulic and custom-moulded sealing products.

Over 500 lines of high perform ance 'O' rings are now available ex-stock, including items manufactured in the company's rapid gas decompression resistant materials, and 'make to order' times have been reduced by nearly 50%.
