Oliver Medical purchases new slitter
Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA...Oliver Medical is preparing for delivery and validation of a new slitter which was purchased after the sale of the company in 2007.
Oliver Medical has made a significant investment in new slitting equipment to support continued strong growth. The slitter purchase emphasizes the focus on investment that Oliver has maintained since its June 2007 acquisition by Mason Wells, a private equity company based in Milwaukee, WI. "The sale was a strategic decision to ensure Oliver's continued development," said Jeff Murak, director of marketing and sales. "Mason Wells aggressively supports the company through capital investment."
"Continued growth and Oliver's 2007 capital investment in a state-of-the-art coater highlighted the need for a secondary slitter with large roll handling abilities," said Toni Richardson, director of operations. "The many technological upgrades and improvement in speed and change over will ensure Oliver remains responsive, efficient and cost-effective in meeting the needs of an increasing, diverse customer base." Oliver expects to double current slitting capacity while achieving consistent levels of quality in conversion of materials including Ovantex®, Tyvek®, papers, non-wovens and foils.
Oliver Medical has provided MDMs with innovative sterile-grade packaging materials—including roll stock for form-fill-seal applications, pouches, and lids—for more than 30 years. Oliver serves customers in 40 countries from the ISO 9001:2000 registered facility in Venray and a 13.950 m2, ISO 9001:2000 registered facility in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA.
