Production boost for Tufco

Cutting waste and machine downtime is behind the latest investment in new equipment at Tufco Technologies in Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA.

As a leading North American contract manufacturer of nonwoven wipes, in addition to carrying out flexographic printing, adhesive lamination and the production of business imaging products, the company has just invested in two Ilapak Delta 3000 LD-HS flow wrappers for its PCMC Clipper Line 2 converting machine and an H22S, seven-lane, single fold, horizontal towelette form/fill/seal machine from Circle Packaging

“These assets couldn’t have come at a better time, said vice president of sales and marketing John Michaud. “The Ilapaks are high speed machines, have a very wide operating window and include automatic splicing and in-line die-cut and labeling. They will increase capacity while eliminating current downstream bottlenecks and the off-line die-cut and label process. The H22S from Circle Packaging will give us more options on package size and boost our competitive position in the single count towelette market.”
