Converters are driven by three important objectives: generating more sales with high profit margins, acquiring the right equipment to handle the work and delivering the lowest cost per converted ton.

The key to attaining those objectives for any successful converting operation is flexibility.

You want flexibility to handle all types of work from wide rolls over 100 inches to narrow rolls under 20 inches. You need equipment that enables you to make money on both contracted business and value-added product lines. You want flexibility with a set-up that can process 2 inches off a wet roll as quickly as multiple cuts on a prime stocking roll. And you want equipment with the flexibility to process containerboard as efficiently and productively as #18 Bible or #80 coated freesheet.

Converters must also have operational speed for the flexibility to react quickly in today’s fluid market environment where production schedules are frequently revamped to meet last-minute customer requirements.
