Wisconsin converter rehabs and installs 28-year-old rewinder from former Kimberly paper mill [From the web]

APPLETON, WI, July 21, 2011 (Appleton Post-Crescent ) - The Gioffredis are putting a piece of Paper Valley history back into service.

The operators of G2 Paper, an Appleton-based paper converting company and distributor of industrial and food grade papers, this week welcomed the installation of a refurbished 28-year-old rewinder on its shop floor. The machine was built in Europe and originally purchased by the former Midtec Paper, forerunner to NewPage, in Kimberly in 1983.

Matt Gioffredi, who runs the family business with his dad, Robert, said the company was in the market for a machine that could handle conversions of paper rolls up to 126 inches wide. About a year ago, they found someone selling a machine that could meet their needs but initially didn't realize it was the one originally used by Midtec in Kimberly.
