Engineering and Design
We offer a complete line of new Paper Finishing equipment such as Winders, Reels and Calendars. We can rebuild and modernize your existing equipment to meet your needs. We can also supply you with rebuilt equipment from the secondary market. If your needs are special, we will custom design equipment to meet your specific needs and requirements. With over 200 years of combined engineering experience in providing complete solutions, our team can make your project a success.

Manufacturing
Turn-key manufacturing services that offer experience in multiple converting applications (web handling, tension control, guiding, spreading, slitting and winding). Our team of manufacturing engineers will focus on design for manufacturing, utilizing the principles of Lean Manufacturing to deliver best in class value. Full test/check-out capabilities insure that each machine installation is "by the book" with no surprises. We continually invest in people, processes and technology to offer cost effective manufacturing and assembly services.

Our team has field expertise in the "Process" of paper finishing. We can assist you with Web Handling, Tension Control, Guiding, Roll Structure, Spreading, Wrinkling, Runnability, Nips, Slitting, Winding and other related issues. We can provide you with a full range of assistance from Cycle Time Analysis to Problem Solving to Troubleshooting and Repair.

Training
Our training is customized for your specific needs and the equipment at your facility. We offer both "hands on" and classroom training for Operations Personnel and Maintenance Personnel; including Controls. We offer training for the equipment we provide as well as a series of general classes for equipment overview, such as Winder Theory of Operation. All of our training classes stress the importance of safety and promote good work habits.

Startup and Installation Supervision
Our team will work with you to ensure that you get the best installation and equipment start-up possible. We will supervise the equipment erection, alignment and field connections. We will work with your staff to set up and tune the equipment for your specific operation. We offer a complete "Turn-key" installation and start-up package to remove this responsibility from the mill and place it on us. We act as the agent of the mill and take the responsibility to get the job done right.
If you have any questions on the above give us a call.
