3
Sigma Corporation, a leading supplier of specialty custom adhesive and
top-coated materials for the pressure-sensitive label industry, has completed
installation of a wide format specialty coater, providing customers with a
greater array of cost effective, custom engineered pressure sensitive adhesives
and custom coated products. The new
coater, designed and built to 3 Sigma specifications, accommodates 80-inch
(203-centimeter) web materials and can apply multiple coatings and/or adhesives
on both the front and back of the web. A
laminating station permits producing pressure sensitive constructions with
liner or multi-layered product designs.
Discussing
the new equipment, Mike Sotzing, 3 Sigma Vice President of Operations, said:
"This new specialty coater is our most versatile piece of equipment. With it, 3 Sigma can produce more complex
applications and constructions for new specialty and niche markets, as well as
those we now serve. We designed and
built this machine to complement our existing capability and to further our
growth in both the label-stock industry and additional markets. The new coating
line has increased our employment, and with more staff additions planned in the
near future, 3 Sigma is helping the local Miami County (Ohio) economy continue
its growth."
Since
1980, 3 Sigma has been a fast-growing, resourceful innovator of specialty
top-coating and pressure-sensitive adhesive coated products. 3 Sigma offers expertise in solvent,
emulsion, and hot melt technologies, to provide the optimum solution for any label
need. Quality teams monitor and inspect
material throughout the manufacturing process according to ISO 9001:2008
guidelines, to ensure that 3 Sigma customers receive the best label stock
available.
