Paper Converting Machine Co., part of the Barry-Wehmiller Converting Solutions Platform, acquired STAX Technologies, headquartered in Čačak, Serbia. The acquisition adds reciprocating flow technology to PCMC’s tissue packaging product line offering.

STAX is a market leader in the tissue packaging equipment industry, whose core product offerings include wrappers, bundlers, casepackers and palletizers. Since its entrance into the market more than 15 years ago, STAX has built a global customer base and continues to deliver innovative and cost-effective solutions to the market.

“This marks a new era for PCMC,” said Sergio Casella, president of PCMCItaly. “By adding STAX’s expertise and capabilities, we are the only manufacturer to offer both reciprocating and continuous flow equipment as well as complete solutions from unwinders through palletizers for customers worldwide.”

This acquisition will fuel STAX’s global expansion, as PCMC’s wellestablished footprint provides the parts and service network customers need in today’s competitive tissue market. For more information, visit www.pcmc.com
