What happened
Catbridge said on February 19, 2026 that Nobelus installed a Model 900 Duplex Slitter Rewinder at its Elgin, Illinois facility. The supplier said the installation expands Nobelus' converting capability for film and laminate products.
Equipment details
Catbridge said the machine handles webs up to 84 inches wide and runs up to 2,500 feet per minute. The company said the system is designed to process larger and heavier rolls while improving tension control, roll quality, and changeover efficiency.
Why it matters
For slitting and rewinding buyers, this is a clean signal that North American converters are still investing in throughput and automation on the finishing side. That matters for suppliers serving flexible packaging, label, and laminated film markets.
