Technicote, Inc., a North American material supplier to the pressure sensitive industry, has announced its strategic partnership with Welsh, a custom slitter and rewinding company, to offer improved service to Southeast converters.

The partnership will allow Technicote to improve lead times, expand distribution and increase the range of products currently being distributed to the region. Technicote will offer both narrow and wide-web slitting across a variety of papers and films.

Orders placed by 3:00 EST will be ready to ship within two business days or less, with most orders ready for delivery within 24 hours. The service works with orders as small as 2,500’ to large orders.

Driving the solution in the Southeast is Welsh’s centrally located 96,000 square foot manufacturing facility located in Greensboro, NC, USA.

“We know that having viable material solutions to meet application needs and the sensitivity in providing timely products are critical for our customers in today’s marketplace. Throughout our search for a distribution partner, we were consistently impressed with Welsh and their unique understanding of our customers’ needs,” says Ed Klene, Technicote's marketing director.

“We are pleased to partner with Technicote to provide solutions for Southeast customers. Both Technicote and Welsh are passionate and committed to providing solutions not just products. By focusing on this, we will be able to do even more for our customer base,” says Welsh account manager Bart Roberts.
