Chicopee, Mass.-Maxcess, a global leader in innovative products and services for the web handling industry, recently unveiled a $1.5 million Center of Excellence facility in Chicopee, Massachusetts, designed to be an industry-leading manufacturing center for long length and large diameter rolls for the paper, plastic sheet, food and general converting industries.
“We think investing in this complete transformation will be an enormous asset to our organization, as well as our customers,” said Greg Jehlik, CEO of Maxcess. “This is the first step, with plans for our Neenah, Wisconsin facility underway, in an expansive transformation for Webex in how we manufacture our precision rolls, ultimately providing our customers with greater service and shorter lead times.”
