Drader has been pumping plastic for over thirty years. As an example, Drader designed and built the Provincial ballot boxes used in every election since 1976. Its experience with plastic and its stability as a company instills confidence with Drader's customers.

Drader custom manufacturing customers come from all industrial sectors of Alberta's economy. Parts are manufactured for companies in such sectors as agri-food, construction, oil & gas through to the supply and services sectors. Drader's experience with this broad client base gives the company an advantage in understanding customer needs. To further satisfy these needs, Drader invests in new technology. The recent purchase of a new Mitsubishi injection molding machine is seen as a a good move for customers and for ourselves, because it makes products faster and we pass the savings onto our customers.

Drader is looking for growth, so we're spending money on keeping up with technology. The company wants to grow in a smart, efficient manner; growth that challenges employees and benefits clients. Such growth ensures you can keep client costs down and maintain a good long term relationship.

Making plastic parts large or small is not a problem at Drader. As a custom molding operation, Drader has some of the largest machines available in Western Canada. Big plastic part production or multi-cavity molding is done daily at the plant. Drader's injection molding machines range from 270 tons to 725 tons of clamping pressure. Over nine pounds of plastic can be produced in each shot.

The relocation to the new plant has allowed Drader to improve its customer service. New overhead cranes were installed for quick mold changes. State of the art cooling, vacuum and material feed systems significantly increased production efficiencies. Along with the new efficiencies Drader packages plastic parts that meet specific customers need. It can also arrange competitive shipping rates or prepare the shipment for customer pick up. Customers rely on Drader to ship their orders, on time and complete.
