Cedex Plastics S.A.L. Makes
First Investment
In Co-extrusion Line from Windmoeller & Hoelscher
LINCOLN, RI – Cedex Plastics S.A.L., the new
Lebanese-based joint venture between EXOPACK
and the INDEVCO Group
of Lebanon, has made its first investment in equipment: a 3-layer
VAREX
co-extrusion line from Windmoeller & Hoelscher.
Cedex will use the VAREX to manufacture co-extruded polyethylene
film for export to North America, enabling EXOPACK to provide its
customers with cost-effective films of the highest quality.
EXOPACK's President, Jack Knott, says, “Cedex will offer valuable
materials solutions to our customers. We chose W&H as our equipment
supplier to ensure the quality and consistency of our products on
a global basis. ”
“Being a part of Cedex is an incredible opportunity for W&H to
form a relationship with INDEVCO, demonstrate the quality and dependability
of our machinery, as well as gain a stronger foothold in the region,”
adds Andrew Wheeler, Vice President of W&H.
EXOPACK has a long history of using W&H equipment for many aspects
of its business, including printing, extrusion and multiwall. This
summer, a W&H co-extrusion line,
similar to the one purchased by Cedex, was installed at EXOPACK's
Griffin, GA plant.
