Webco Engineering Represents Kmec in USA, Canada

As part of its planned expansion in North America, Kontrelmec s.I. (Kmec), Girona, Spain, and Kmec USA Inc., Knoxville, Tenn., have signed an agreement with Webco, Southborough, Mass., USA, to market its products in the U.S. and Canada. There are many similarities between the two companies making this arrangement a "natural fit."

Both companies say they are strong believers in customizing the product to suit the particular customer requirement. Each having executed that policy for more than 40 years has earned them the reputation of supplying quality equipment to paper mills and converters.

As the companies note, the synergy of this new set-up is realized in the expansion of the range of equipment now available from Webco, from the two drum winders on which Webco has largely built its reputation through sheeters, coating and laminators, embossing, and labeling equipment.

As an integral part of the arrangement; Bob Preddy, formerly of Kmec USA has joined Webco as its sales director.

Critical factors in the future plans of collaboration and development between the companies are technical service and joint manufacturing. More information is available on the Webco website and the Kmec USA website.
