Great teams are built on great values—and we love celebrating the people who bring ours to life.

That's what our Sharpest EDGE Award is all about. Each quarter, employees nominate their coworkers who best embody our five core values:

- Team Over Self
- Grit
- Do the Right Thing
- Winning Mindset
- Love What You Do

It's peer-nominated, which makes it even more meaningful. These are the people our own employees look up to.

We're thrilled to announce our Quarter 3 Sharpest EDGE winners! Congratulations to everyone recognized—your dedication doesn't go unnoticed, and you inspire us all to bring our best every day.

The EDGE website was an awesome task, bringing 5 distinct brands and products down to one website for this incredibly professional global brand. No small feat to take on, and the collaboration with the EDGE team was one of the best we have had.

We will have some videos rolling out to complement this total overhaul of their online presence right around the corner!

You know Pearl for precision hole punching units and blown film extrusion line enhancements. But our capabilities run deeper — we also engineer perforating and slitting units built to hold pattern and quality at production speed.

Breathable packaging, easy-open tear lines, clean inline slitting — getting these right at production speed takes engineering built for the job.

Pearl's perforating and slitting units are designed for exactly that:

🔹 𝗥𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳: Film-driven, variable-depth perforation built for high-volume industrial runs, with adjustable blade depth for breathable packaging and form-fill-seal integration.
🔹 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀: We offer a wide variety of high-quality perforation blades for use in converting operations.
🔹 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗯 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳: A pneumatic unit for perforation or cut-off on intermittent poly bag or pouch machines, delivering consistent, high-quality perfs run after run.
🔹 𝗦𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: Low-friction, tool-less tube-slitter attachments paired with our long-life Tru-Kote coated blades for clean edges and virtually zero maintenance.

Every unit is configurable — custom cut/tie patterns, lane counts, and widths to match your exact application and need.

Unplanned downtime is one of the most expensive problems in food processing, and the fix often starts with your blades.

In our latest blog, we break down 5 smart blade strategies that help plant managers cut unplanned stoppages:

☑️ Choose quality blades for consistent, reliable cuts
☑️ Select the right finishes and coatings (TiN, TiCN, DLC, PTFE) for your application
☑️ Invest in preventative maintenance before problems escalate
☑️ Resharpen before you replace to extend blade life
☑️ Ensure quick replacement turnaround when you need it most

With 2,500+ knife designs in stock and same-day shipping available, we help plants stay running when it matters most.

Investing in our people is investing in our future.

This month, our Sheffield team welcomed members of the Indore team for Leadership 360 training — a dedicated program designed to strengthen the capabilities of our leaders and deepen our culture of excellence.

Sessions like these are about more than professional development. They reflect how EDGE approaches growth: bringing teams together across geographies, sharing perspectives, and aligning on the values that define how we work.

The outcomes of this collaboration extend beyond the training room:
☑️ Stronger leadership capabilities across global teams
☑️ A unified culture built on shared standards and values
☑️ Better equipped teams to serve our customers with excellence

At EDGE, our people are our greatest asset. When we invest in their growth, we strengthen our ability to deliver the quality and service our customers expect.

Here's to continued growth, collaboration, and leadership excellence across every corner of our business.

If you're still using abrasive wheels for hose cutting, you're leaving performance on the table and creating problems you don't need.

Abrasive wheels grind through material using friction. That means heat buildup, hose deformation, abrasive debris, and material loss on every single cut. Start with a 12″ hose and you'll end up with less than 12″ of usable product. Add in the cleanup time and safety risks from burrs and fragments, and the inefficiency adds up fast.

EDGE hose cut-off knives work differently. Precision-ground steel slitter blades slice cleanly through hydraulic, rubber, plastic, Teflon™, and metal-reinforced hoses — with virtually no material loss, no heat deformation, and minimal need for secondary cleanup.

Two edge geometries cover the full range of applications:
🔹 Beveled edge — the versatile all-purpose blade for most hose types
🔹 Wavy scalloped edge — built for heavy steel-reinforced hoses where durability is the priority

And when the blade eventually dulls? EDGE's professional resharpening service restores it to factory sharpness.

Cleaner cuts. Zero waste. Less downtime. Ready to make the switch?
