Airlite Plastics Company has expanded production capabilities at its plant in Nazareth, US, with a semi-custom Davis-Standard sheet line.

Airlite - Davis-Standard
Airlite Plastics expands capacity with Davis-Standard sheet line
The new line, installed in 2019, supports Airlite’s thin-gauge sheet production for products of various thicknesses and textures. This includes proprietary Orthoform sheet used in fabricating orthotics and prosthetics, the primary market supported by the company’s Pennsylvania Division.
Davis-Standard engineered the line for strict repeatability, gauge control, product consistency and low scrap, which are essential to Airlite’s highly controlled processes.
Airlite operates five sheet lines at the plant, all from Davis-Standard brand companies, to support customers from the U.S. and Canada, as well as a growing international clientele.
Airlite VP and GM Tony Alfieri said: “Davis-Standard’s equipment has performed really well for us and that is part of the reason we are a return customer. The thing that influenced us the most is the service … From the initial quote request through the manufacturing process and start-up, to aftersale service and support, we always get a great response.”
Steve DeAngelis, VP of sheet, fibre, foam and reprocessing at Davis-Standard, added: “This line is a great example of how Davis-Standard is equipped to support customers who serve the medical industry. Since we are a single-source supplier, we have more control over every component, which is essential for ensuring customers like Airlite can depend on their investment. We are grateful for their business and wish them much success as they continue to grow their business.”
