Valuable core competency

Winpak is an integrated converter. The converting processes employed by the company include multi-color printing, laminating, slitting, pouch and bag making, cup thermoforming and die-cutting. Winpak integrates the conversion processes with the manufacturing by extrusion of certain substrates consumed in the conversion process. The proprietary co-extrusion processes and custom resin blends are the elements that differentiate Winpak from other participants in the industry.

This core competency is supported and nurtured by a technical organization, with engineering, packaging, polymer, and food chemistry expertise dedicated to the development of new, high-quality materials, and lower-cost manufacturing realized through the use of advanced technology. As an integrated converter, Winpak can react quickly to market requirements and can readily design materials that respond to a customer’s special needs.

Winpak sales representatives are strategically located throughout North America and are aligned in defined market segments. In addition, the company maintains an extensive network of independent sales agents and distributors throughout North America and in select markets in South America. Quality is measured by the level of customer service in delivering those goods.

Winpak provides food, healthcare, and industrial packaging solutions to companies around the world. While Winpak’s customers may include many Fortune 500 companies, Winpak is structured to partner with companies of all sizes.

Winpak continuously strives to meet the challenges of providing competitively priced, quality packaging products and services to customers.

Variety of products

Rounding out Winpak’s product offering is specialized packaging machinery. The establishment of a machines product line is a strategic initiative.
