Why should you come and see us?
Have a feel of our products
We have an extensive pedigree of over 25,000 standard parts, components and machine accessories. Although we won't be able to bring every single one of these products with us to trade shows, we offer a wide selection for you to interact with when you come and visit us. This is a great opportunity to compare various materials, colours and sizes to find the perfect piece for your business.
Talk to our Technical Team
If you've got any technical questions such as the thread style used, want to know the difference between imperial or metric, or even why stainless steel is the best material to use in the food and beverage industry, you can chat to a member of our team. Our design engineers can aid your application knowledge too. For example, how do our Spencer Franklin boosters work or how can a carpenter utilise a 360 Degree Hydra Clamp? We'll have the answers to all your questions!
Find the best products for you
Need help solving a manufacturing problem or want to improve the efficiency of your production line? Our Technical Team can suggest the best parts for your design. We have in-house engineers who can discuss the different options available to you and the most ideal for the industry you work in. The WDS representatives you'll meet at trade shows have extensive knowledge about our product range so can give you the best advice when it comes to selecting the right parts and components for you.
