An American manufacturer fast-tracked the development of a new machine to solve the critical need for canister wipes, which have been in short supply during COVID-19.
Earlier this year, Absolut Manufacturing successfully launched the Absolut WiNDR, a coreless slit rewinder that creates medical and industrial wipes used for cleaning and disinfecting. Invented in partnership with parent company C. G. Bretting Manufacturing Co., Inc., the breakthrough technology of the WiNDR offers an effective solution for converters.
“We are excited to provide a world-class offering capable of outperforming all others in this arena,” said Ricky Bretting, engineering manager at Absolut Manufacturing. “As with all Bretting companies, Absolut is committed to delivering on our promise to provide the gold standard of support and service to the marketplace.”
One of the enduring images of the pandemic was that of barren grocery, convenience, and drugstore shelves. As consumers sought to wipe down everything from grocery packages to doorknobs, disinfectant wipes flew off the shelves the moment they were restocked. Some companies saw demand for their canister wipes increase by 40%. Absolut’s 50-inch-wide rewinding system provides tension control and reliable equipment service to meet the needs of the nonwoven market throughout the world providing both flat and v-folded formats.
In 2019, Absolut Manufacturing erected and completed a 30,000-square-foot facility in Iron River, Wisconsin, that allows it to design, manufacture, and assemble in the heart of America. The manufacturer makes wet wipe, napkin, tissue, and towel machines in addition to other dry and wet substrates converting machines, interfolders, and rewinders. It’s backed by the 130-year-old, fifth-generation family-owned American business C. G. Bretting Manufacturing Co., Inc.
