Since 1997, Converters Expo has brought professionals from across the converting industry to Wisconsin to share the latest technology, products, and ideas. Thanks to the overwhelming success of the event and industry demand, Converters Expo is adding a new show, Converters Expo South, which will debut on February 6, 2018 in Charlotte, NC at the Charlotte Convention Center.
"The Carolina-Georgia area is the second largest 'Converting Corridor' in the nation for this type of manufacturing. Products that come out of these specialized processes range from baby wipes, to dental bibs, labels, pouches and numerous other items used in our daily lives," said John Kalkowski, Packaging Market & Media Leader for BNP Media's Food, Beverage and Packaging Group. "Converters Expo South will bring converters and packagers of paper, film and nonwovens together with companies looking for the latest in efficiency, techniques, advances, products, equipment and more. By adding this new event for the Southeast marketplace we will expand our audience and bring more opportunities to the industry."
Sponsors of Converters Expo South include Pinnacle Converting Equipment, AccuWeb, BST North America and Valley Grinding & Mfg. These companies will join 60 other vendors offering converting services to complete products using paper, film and nonwovens through rewinding & sheeting; folding & finishing; coating, laminating & adhesives; flexographic printing & inks; packaging, warehousing, shipping & logistics; equipment and associated engineering; as well as testing and product development, along with many others.
Several hundred companies are making plans to attend this launch event including contract manufacturers to help in all aspects of production; printing, packaging and testing services; expansion ideas and new equipment as well as product developers looking for converters and manufacturers to create products and learn about new technologies.
