As we announced in the spring, we will move forward working hand in hand with our valued partners Paper Converting Machine Company (PCMC), STAX Technologies, Hudson-Sharp and Northern Engraving and Machine Company (NEMCO) all under the umbrella of Barry-Wehmiller Converting Solutions (BWCS). Working together, we can offer the perfect solution for all your individual needs in the areas “Tissue,” “Print, Bag & Mail,” and “Hygiene.”
Direct strategic exchange between these leading brands now opens up even more benefits for you:

All-in-one process / Our experts from various product divisions bring many synergies to the table through their collaboration, promoting development of forward-looking,individualized solutions.
