“Converters Expo has always been a successful venue for Preco, Inc.  It is a good platform to target potential converting and packaging customers in southeast Wisconsin, as well giving us the opportunity to network with area customers.  It’s truly a regional show with the dynamics of a larger, domestic trade show,” says Terry Olson, marketing manager, Preco, Inc., a bronze sponsor. Preco, Inc. provides innovative and cost-effective solutions for converting applications and flexible packaging.

“We choose to be a part of the Convertors Expo because we leave the show with new partners. This show is full of industry people trying to ‘move the needle’ and grow their brands, it’s exciting to be a part of their success,” adds TJ Utschig, president, Valley Grinding & Manufacturing.  “Our slitting experts from Valley Grinding will be exhibiting slitting solutions made here in Wisconsin.  We provide an array of services aimed toward the slitting sections of our customers.  We make OEM knives, custom slitters and provide rebuilding and re-sharpening services.”

“At the Converters Expo we are looking forward to exhibiting our air pollution control products for the solvent based converting industry.  We design and manufacture regenerative (RTOs), catalytic, recuperative and direct thermal oxidizers to help customers meet or exceed todays clean air requirements.  We also offer energy recovery solutions to capture any waste heat and reduce the customers operating costs,” says David Kerrigan, Sales and Application Manager, TANN Corporation, an engineering company providing custom systems and turnkey solutions.
