Parkinson Technologies, Inc. made a lasting impression at the International Converting Exhibition (ICE) USA 2015 in Orlando (February 10-12) when it conducted live demonstrations of one of its slitter rewinder machines. The only slitter exhibitor at ICE to run a machine at production speed, Parkinson conducted continuous demonstrations of its Dusenbery® Genesis 700 Center-Driven Duplex Slitter Rewinder throughout the three-day event.
“There are huge investments being made in the U.S. converting market, and the ICE show is essential to bringing customers and technology providers together” says John Marold, Dusenbery Product Specialist at Parkinson Technologies. “ICE is a great opportunity for us to showcase our slitter product line and connect with companies that want innovative, cost-effective solutions to their converting challenges. It’s always a little risky running a machine at a tradeshow, but we had complete confidence in the Genesis 700 and it performed flawlessly, even without anchoring on padded carpet.
ICE is North America’s largest converting industry event, attracting several thousand converting professionals from nearly 50 countries. Over 350 suppliers attended this year’s show, which took place at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. Parkinson ran FLEXPET 48G BOPET film produced by the Kentucky-based company Flex Films, which donated the film to Parkinson Technologies.
Says Parkinson’s President and CEO, Peter Termyn: “Parkinson Technologies is proud to exhibit at this industry-leading event. Not only is it a forum for exhibiting our products and capabilities; it helps to advance the entire industry by enabling converting professionals from around the world to meet, exchange ideas and experiences, and gain insight into the latest market trends. We’re thrilled to have received such a fantastic response to our demonstration of the Dusenbery Genesis 700. I’d like to thank Steve Sargeant at Flex Films for generously providing the material that allowed us to run the demos.”
The Dusenbery Genesis 700 is one of Parkinson Technologies’ most popular slitter rewinder models, due to its versatility, small footprint, and competitive price point. The company plans to showcase this machine again at the upcoming event NPE 2015, The International Plastics Showcase, which is being held at the Orange County Convention Center March 23-27, 2015.
