A Family Business Built on Engineering, Quality & Trust

At DLS Stillages, we’re proud to be a family-run business, owned and operated by the Smith family.

For us, that means more than simply having the family name above the door. It means taking pride in what we do, looking after our people, building long-term relationships with our customers and standing behind the quality of every product that leaves our factory.

Being family run gives us a strong sense of responsibility for the future. We’re continuing to invest in our people, our facilities, technology and new manufacturing capabilities while maintaining the values that have helped build DLS.

We’re pleased to share that DLS Stillages has been featured in the latest issue of MEM Magazine with our article:

“Protecting Components, Improving Safety: DLS Stillages Invests in Smarter Packaging Solutions”

The feature looks at how we’re developing our packaging solutions to do more than simply move and store components. Helping manufacturers protect valuable parts, improve workplace safety, reduce handling risks and create more efficient material flows.

We also take a closer look at our expanding in-house capabilities, including our steel-backed vinyl sheet investment, and how these solutions can provide tailored protection for components across demanding manufacturing environments.

A big thank you to the team at MEM Magazine for giving DLS the opportunity to showcase what we’ve been working on and where we’re heading next.

We’d like to wish our Operations Manager and his fiancée the very best of luck as they take on an incredible challenge this September, walking 100km throughout the month for the charity, Sands.

That’s a serious amount of walking, but it’s all for an incredibly important cause.

Everyone here at DLS Stillages will be cheering them on every step of the way!

100km, one step at a time! 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

Built to Last. Built for Sustainability. 🌱♻️

When it comes to making manufacturing more sustainable, sometimes the best solution is simply making things that last.

That’s exactly what our stillages are designed to do. 💪

Unlike single-use packaging, our stillages are strong, durable and reusable, helping businesses move components safely time and time again without constantly relying on disposable packaging.

From automotive and aerospace to food, manufacturing and logistics, returnable steel packaging can play a big part in creating a more efficient and sustainable supply chain.

We’re pleased to be continuing our partnership with Wigan & Leigh College, with another two apprentices here at DLS Stillages.

Both joining us as Welding & Fabrication Apprentices, and although their college studies officially begin in September, they’ve already joined us on site and are getting stuck into life at DLS.

For us, apprenticeships are about more than simply learning a trade. It’s about giving the next generation the opportunity to gain real hands on experience, develop practical skills and learn from experienced people on the shop floor.

We’re proud to play our part in developing the skilled workforce of the future and hopefully helping to create the next generation of talented welders and fabricators right here in Wigan.

DLS Stillages at Farnborough International Airshow!

We recently attended the Farnborough International Airshow, and what an experience it was!

Here’s a few highlights from the day…

Our Managing Director, Ben Smith, reflected on the event:

“Attending the Farnborough Airshow for the first time was a fantastic experience. The innovation and investment across the aerospace, defence and space sectors make it clear there are some exciting opportunities to be had from a bespoke packaging perspective.

At DLS Stillages, we're proud to design and manufacture solutions that can protect high-value and safety-critical components and help keep production lines running efficiently. Events like Farnborough reinforce just how important robust handling and transport solutions are to these industries.

A special thank you to all those that made connections with us during the show. We look forward to working with new and existing partners to support their packaging needs.”

It was fantastic to meet so many businesses and industry professionals throughout the show and to see first hand, the innovation shaping the future of aerospace, defence and space.

We’re excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to developing new partnerships and delivering bespoke stillages and returnable packaging solutions for high-value and safety-critical applications.

We’ve come away with some fantastic new connections and plenty of exciting conversations to continue.

The show may be over, but the conversations are only just beginning.

If you have a challenge involving the handling, storage or transportation of high-value components, we’d love to talk.
