Innovation
Our design department has developed innovative solutions for perfect lamination of protection films, a fast and accurate cutting of the initial coil into two or more rolls of smaller width, or successfully apply various types of coatings to a wide variety of materials. We constantly are adapting to the constraints of our customers for product type and integration into their production lines.
WALCO® research and development departments are constantly searching for innovations, filing numerous patents, with the goal of meeting the challenges of both today and tomorrow.
