Blown film equipment maker Costruzioni Meccaniche Luigi Bandera SpA, Busto Arsizio, Italy, now is working with Extru-tech Solutions Inc., Toronto, for the promotion of its equipment in North America.
The partnership officially began in December. Extru-tech is a consulting and service providing firm for the extrusion industry. The purpose of the partnership is to supply high-technology and proven blown film equipment to the North American market, officials told PMM. Extru-tech will handle after-sales service for Bandera's projects. Bandera's lines are used in packaging, agriculture and geomembrane applications and they have installations worldwide.
Bandera also is in partnership with Processing Technologies International LLC (PTi), Aurora, Ill. Bandera and PTi already have placed 12 PET rigid film extrusion lines for converters in the rigid packaging sector in North America.
Bandera will be exhibiting at NPE, where it will show a single screw extruder TR 120 for blown film.
