Universal Converting Equipment outlines three-year plan

Universal Converting Equipment is a manufacturer of slitter rewinders, rewinding machines, hot melt coating equipment, core cutters and other ancillary systems used in the converting industry.

Its Universal X6 slitter rewinder features a compact footprint that the company said has proved particularly successful as a high performance yet cost effective slitting machine for slitting flexible materials. It incorporates automatic knife setting, core alignment, closed loop tension control, additional tension zone through slitting and constant geometry contact rollers.

Lean Flexibles recently installed an X6 unit to enhance its capabilities and achieve its business objectives.

Universal Converting Equipment also named Mike Wilkinson as sales executive to drive growth of its technology, which is already sold globally. However, Wilkinson said: ‘Although Universal Converting Equipment has always had a reputation for high quality machines, its sales effort has been limited. I intend to help Universal Converting Equipment grow to be a major worldwide supplier of slitter rewinders.’

Universal Converting Equipment has recently completed the latest phase in its expansion program designed to support a doubling of its turnover in the last two years.

Alan Jones, Universal Converting Equipment managing director, said: ‘We have ambitious growth plans over the next three years and Mike will help us reach our targets.’
