Signode Launches (CONT’D FROM PAGE 12)
“The new addition will help improve work flow and in- crease production capacity to meet growing sales with both printing and converting customers,” said Matt Umen- tum, President, of Rol-Tec. “This includes a specially con- trolled 2,200 s.f center that houses our new laser engrav- ing machines. We not only produce the highest quality print sleeves, but our state-of-the-industry laser engraving technology can handle the largest cylinders and process customer art files direct to PDF without manual art ma- nipulation. This speeds production time, reduces file art charges, and prevents potential file transfer errors.” The company’s expanded metal machining operation is already transitioning into the new space to support the company’s roller and sleeve production. Machine installs start with five turning lathes including three full CNC lathes, two CNC milling centers and two CNC machining centers. A new CNC engine lathe capable of handling 240-inch roll lengths is presently awaiting delivery. Three new 5-ton bridge cranes can easily handle heavy rollers. Recently, Rol-Tec also increased roll production capa- bilities with the 2020 acquisition of Axis Grinding, a pre- cision roll manufacturer and roll grinder, located in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The plant expansion additionally accommodates a new employee locker room, new break room, and additional parking. The company growth is now driving new hiring.

It also performs European Safe Logistics Association (EUMOS) testing, which is a dynamic test that can help evaluate the rigidity and stability of a load that is subjected to horizontal accelerations and de- celerations during transport.
