Despite the relative gloom in the converting industry, we continue to pick up orders for new slitting machines. At a time when everyone is looking to pay less for new machinery, we have sold two of our X9 high performance slitting machines. The output and quality gains from this machine mean that a fast pay back can be obtained justifying the purchase price. Both machines have gone to customers outside of the UK.
At the same time, sales of our low cost X7 slitting machine have also increased. This machine was designed as a quality machine, with high build quality but with a lower performance specification than the X9 allowing a lower selling price. It is ideal starter machine for converting companies.
These machines are part of a range of slitting machines produced by Universal Converting Equipment that also include the narrow width X3 slitting machine and the high speed X8 hot stamping foil slitter.
Slitter rewinders, salvage / doctor rewinders, hot melt adhesive coating and laminating equipment and control systems.
