BW Papersystems has acquired the QUESTEC technology from Ph-QUESTEC, based in Germany. Adding this specialized, innovative rotary crosscutting technology - which serves the printing industry, and has special lightweight paper and film applications - will perfectly complement BW Papersystems’ already robust sheeting and paper-converting product and technology offerings.
"We are excited about integrating the QUESTEC technology into our sheeting product line," said Patrick Walczak, BW Papersystems Senior Vice President Sales, White and Blue Paper. "Not only does it provide opportunities to enhance our offerings for inline reel-fed printing, but it also helps us serve new markets, such as plastic film-cutting, cut-to-register applications for labels and other single-web specialty products."
The unique QUESTEC technology successfully handles and cuts very thin web-based paper and film grades. For the inline-printing industry, as well as the specialized plastic-film industry, both the standalone and integrated QUESTEC crosscutting and contact-free sheet transport solutions provide precise, versatile production options.
BW Papersystems is a part of Barry-Wehmiller and a leading manufacturer for the corrugating, sheeting and paper-converting industries.
