MTorres and Davis-Standard, LLC Announce Exclusive Agreement
Fulton, New York) - Converting machinery leaders MTorres and Davis-Standard, LLC have joined together to offer customers in North, South and Latin America a more cohesive offering of equipment for paper and board extrusion coating applications. Under the joint agreement signed recently, Davis-Standard will be the exclusive distributor of MTorres zero splice unwinding systems to customers throughout the Americas. The agreement merges the advantages of MTorres' zero splice technology with Davis-Standard's expertise in extrusion and lamination applications.
"Our companies have a successful history of working together over the past 20 years," said Hassan Helmy, Executive Vice President of Davis-Standard, LLC. "There are many MTorres zero speed unwinders on Davis-Standard paper and board extrusion coating lines. Our technologies work well together, and will provide the paper converting industry in North, South and Latin America with a more complete equipment package."
