Maxcess Invests $1.5 Million in Precision Roll Center of Excellence

 

Maxcess, a global supplier to the web handling industry, recently unveiled a $1.5 million Center of Excellence facility in Chicopee, Mass., USA, designed to be an industry-leading manufacturing center for long length and large diameter rolls for the paper, plastic sheet, food, and general converting industries.

We think investing in this complete transformation will be an enormous asset to our organization, as well as our customers," said Greg Jehlik, CEO of Maxcess. "This is the first step, with plans for our Neenah, Wis., facility underway, in an expansive transformation for Webex in how we manufacture our precision rolls, ultimately providing our customers with greater service and shorter lead times."

 

 

Recently integrated under the Maxcess-Webex umbrella, the program was initiated to transform the PFE, Fox, and Magnat-Fairview facilities into world-class manufacturing Centers of Excellence for Precision Rolls.

"This project is a complete redesign of our existing manufacturing facility, allowing a greater focus on efficiency and shorter lead times for our large diameter rolls," said Glenn Geddis, GM for Webex Chicopee. "By combining the talents and expertise of Fox, Magnat-Fairview, and PFE, we will provide our customers with high quality rolls through a more efficient and effective operation."
