Recard, Italy, this week said that the company’s challenge for 2016 involves expanding horizons and opening up to new markets—to grow together. The company has already taken its first steps in the direction of new countries in Africa and Asia, while at the same time strengthening its presence in Latin America and Europe. 

In Egypt, Recard will install the third machine comprising the turnkey plant for Alex Converta, while in Bangladesh it has recently closed a contract with Meghna Group of Industries for the supply of a turnkey Easy Crescent plant scheduled for startup in December. This is the second machine installed in the country after the one supplied in 2008 to Bashundhara Paper Mills.

And, the company adds, before the end of the year it will also ship its fourth machine to Mexico for Convertipap, thus reaching the quota of 18 machines in South America, while in Turkey it will complete the rebuild of a machine into a crescent former for Tezol, the second for the Turkish company, scheduled for startup in the spring—a confirmation of trust for Recard that places its "third flag" in the country. 

New contracts have also been signed in Europe for a confidential customer—a crescent former to be supplied within the year. This will be the seventh Recard machine with a working speed of 2,000 m/min.
