JBC - West Formerly Die Cut Technologies
In 1961, Die Cut Technologies (DCT) began making high-quality, die-cut solutions from thin, flexible materials like Kevlar, silicone rubber, and adhesive tape.
In early 2022, DCT became an integral part of JBC Technologies: JBC-West.
Today, JBC-West carries on the DCT legacy built by former owner Scott Flores by continuing to help customers with their sealing and gasketing challenges with precision die cutting and custom manufacturing.
As part of the JBC Technologies Group, JBC-West specializes in flexible materials converting and the precision die-cutting of custom components from specialty engineered materials like FDA-compliant silicone rubber, Teflon, and 3M thermal gap pads.
Like all of our facilities, the team in Northglenn, Colorado delivers high-quality, custom die-cut solutions, supply chain and engineering innovations, manufacturing excellence, and solid industry partnerships to help customers succeed.
