WINDMÖLLER & HÖLSCHER
MORE THAN 130 YEARS OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT FOR THE FLEXIBLE PACKAGING
INDUSTRY
W&H was founded in 1869 by Gottfried Windmöller and Hermann
Hölscher, initially to manufacture paper bags, but has now grown to
become the leading supplier to the flexible packaging industry. The
transformation from converter to machine manufacturer was completed in
1913, when the decision was taken to cease production of cone shaped paper
bags. The machine programme today includes flexo and gravure printing
presses, blown film and cast film extrusion systems and machines for the
conversion of paper and plastic bags, carrier bags and sacks.
THE SINGLE SOURCE
SUPPLIER
W&H sees its role in the industry as that of a system provider.
True to that claim to offer everything from a single source, W&H combine
consultation and engineering resources for the planning and delivery of
complete production lines, including the appropriate automatic process
control and machine management systems. They can also undertake the
engineering and delivery of complete turnkey factories, and are the only
company worldwide to offer such a comprehensive range of equipment for the
flexible packaging industry.
COMPETENCE WORLD-WIDE
In the town of Lengerich, north of Münster, more than 2000 staff
are employed at the group's headquarters. A second service hub has been
developed at W&H Corporation in Rhode Island for North America, and a
subsidiary operates in Brazil to serve local markets. W&H sales offices
and agencies are established throughout Europe, South America, Asia and
Australasia, so that customers from any part of the world have access to
competent and reliable advice.
MACHINE CONCEPTS FOR
FLEXIBLE PACKAGING
W&H are working relentlessly on new developments and the
improvement of existing machines in order to offer optimum profitability
for the intended application. A vast number of patents hint at the
ingenuity of their engineers, whose prime target is to use their
experience, quality, dedication and reliability for their customers'
benefit. |
