Coldwater recently announced the addition of a doctor blade manufacturing area to its Atlanta, Georgia USA facility, and the introduction of Kirwin doctor blades to the North American market.
Coldwater acquired R&E Kirwin Ltd. - Doctor Blade Manufacturers and Engineers, of Chesterfield, England in May of 2012. The Kirwin business was moved to Coldwater’s Swedish facility near Karlstad later in the year. Kirwin has been a prominent supplier of doctor blades in Europe, Africa and Asia for more than thirty years.
Coldwater in Atlanta and Karlstad can now manufacture Kirwin doctor blades from carbon fiber, epoxy glass, cotton phenolic, polyethylene, bronze, stainless steel and carbon steel for any style of doctor blade or creping blade holder. Both facilities also stock all the necessary clips, rivets, tubes and springs for quick deliveries.
