Coast Controls Forms Marketing Partnership with Canadian Firm Converting Supply, Inc.


Sarasota, Florida - September 22, 2010 - Coast Controls, Inc., a world leader in the manufacture of innovative All-Air automated web guiding systems and precision idler rollers for the converting industry, announced today the formation of a strategic marketing partnership with a leading product distribution firm for the Canadian converting industry, Converting Supply, Inc. This new agreement, whereby Converting Supply, Inc., will serve as an exclusive marketing representative for Coast Controls throughout Canada, represents a significant implementation of the firm's continuing foray into expanded international markets.

Coast Controls has been manufacturing their All-Air web guiding systems for almost two decades and delivering these unique systems to the converting industry worldwide. The system operates entirely on low pressure compressed plant air to automatically and accurately guide moving webs of material such as paper, plastic film or cloth on a wide variety of processing lines such as printing presses, laminators, coating machines, extruders, bag machines and slitters. Since Canada is home to several thousand manufacturing companies in these types of industries, the firm intends to leverage its partnership with Converting Supply to gain deeper access into that market.

According to Thomas Marks, President of Coast Controls, "We are pleased to welcome Marc Nolan and the Converting Supply organization as an exclusive marketing and distribution partner representing Coast Controls in Canada. Marc has more than two decades of converting industry experience and is very well respected among his clients and OEM partners. We feel fortunate to have Mr. Nolan representing our company and our products across such a large manufacturing marketplace."

Marc Nolan, Owner of Converting Supply, Inc., stated, "We have selected to represent the Coast Controls web guiding solution to our industry partners because of the many benefits inherent in the technology including cost efficiencies, ease of use and the simplicity of installation. Most importantly, Coast Controls web guides and sensors are fully pneumatic so there is no maintenance, no need to obtain special electrical training or safety certifications and they significantly outlast other technologies. These standard features offer customers some interesting safety and budgetary advantages. The products from Coast Controls will have a real appeal to our value conscious customer base."
