Starting July 2020, Reifenhäuser India will represent IMS’ Goebel, a leading supplier of slitter rewinders, automatic unwinders and rewinders, and inspection machines for the primary and secondary converting segments.

Thanks to this partnership, we will be able to improve our support to the existing customers and to approach the new ones more effectively,” said Marino Ferrarese, Group Sales and Marketing director.
Goebel slitter rewinders are well known in the converting industry for their precision and very narrow width specialty applications for all times of films, laminates, aluminum, and special papers. In addition, LAEM IMS twin-shaft slitter-rewinders for flexible packaging, compact slitter rewinders, and Rotomac food wrapping equipment will be offered to the Indian market through Reifenhauser India.
