Universal Converting Equipment, a fast growing supplier of slitting machines and other converting equipment, has expanded its sales in North America and has secured a dedicated facility for a showroom and service centre.

The centre will be the focus for servicing the market in both North and South America. The new building is due for completion in March 2016 with plans to install a Universal X6 slitting machine and other equipment in June 2016.

Alan Jones, managing director said, “We will be providing an easily accessible location for potential customers to view our range of equipment. The new facility is located in Florida within easy travel distance of both Tampa and Orlando airports with extensive national and international flights. In addition to our high productivity X6 slitting machine, we will also have a range of our other products on show.”

Universal Converting Equipment manufactures the X6 Slitter Rewinder. The X6 is designed to slit a wide range of flexible materials and has been particularly popular in the flexible packaging and converting industries. (GK)
