Converters Expo features converter-manufacturers who add value to mill rolls of paper, film, nonwovens fabrics and other roll goods. “These exhibitors make products ranging from medical disposables to tissue products, printed specialties, wet wipes, labels, tapes and much more,” says Bob Saari of Contract Converting. “Coming in from around the nation to attend are product developers, buyers, engineers and executives looking for contract-manufacturing support.”
In addition to manufacturer exhibitors are companies in converting machinery, automation, equipment, logistics, packaging and other industry services. The two-day converting-industry program includes:
