Slitter Rewinder Machines Market

The center winder segment is estimated to account for the highest global sales, attributed to cost-efficient converting of plastic web films

Center winder slitter rewinder machines have motor-driven shafts for rewinding, and thus generate considerable tension in the rewinding material. Therefore, center winder slitter rewinder machines are suitable for materials which can endure significant tension without damaging the output material. Center winder slitter rewinder machines are relatively economical as compared to surface winder and center-surface winder slitter rewinder machines.

Increasing demand for converted paper products has propelled the surface winder slitter rewinder machines market

The intolerance towards the usage of conventional plastics has promoted the prompt shift to converted flexible packaging industry from plastic films to flexible paper packaging solutions. Thus, the demand for slitter rewinder machines for converting paper is rising at a significant pace. Moreover, surface wider slitter rewinder machines are relatively economical as compared to center-surface slitter rewinder machines, as well as capable of maintaining considerable low tension in the rewinding material.

In addition, the demand for tissue paper products has witnessed substantial growth over the last decade, and is further anticipated to create a large opportunity. Thus, the increasing demand for tissue paper products has attributed to the expansion of global tissue paper production capacity, leading to a lucrative opportunity for the surface winder slitter rewinder machines market globally.

The center-surface winder slitter rewinder machines segment is projected to witness swift growth in demand during the forecast period

In the present market scenario, the market share of center-surface winder slitter rewinder machines is much lower as compared to that of center winder and surface winder segments in the global slitter rewinder machines market. The relatively high cost of the center-surface winder slitter rewinder machines has restrained the growth of the segment. The enhanced efforts from key slitter rewinder machine manufacturers to promote center-surface winder machines have prompted the large-scale converting firms across the globe to opt for center-surface winder slitter rewinder machines.

Center-surface winder slitter rewinder machines are highly efficient in maintaining low and constant tension on the rewinding material. Thus, the center-surface winder slitter rewinder machines are highly suitable for converting pressure-sensitive materials such as technical films, thin plastic films and papers, metal foils, and other materials.

Quickly evolving demand for electronic vehicles has resulted into immense expansion in the production of lithium-ion batteries which require thin anode, cathode, and separator films. Some of the key slitter rewinder machine manufacturers have recognized this as a lucrative opportunity and launched slitter rewinder machines specifically for the production of lithium-ion batteries.

Global Slitter Rewinder Machines Market: Key Developments

Launching new machinery with competitive technology is the majorly adopted strategy for promoting slitter rewinder machines.

• On 22nd September 2018, Hagihara Industries Inc., launched shaft-less center-drive slitter rewinder, specifically for processing PET films, metallized films, and optical films.
• On 11th October 2017, Nishimura Mfg. Co., Ltd. introduced FN425E slitter rewinder machine model for processing plastic films, at Plastic & Rubber Indonesia 2017.

Establishing manufacturing facilities for increasing company reach is highly unfeasible, thus companies prefer to establish partnerships or sales offices in different regions, and provide remote technological assistance.

• On 6th June 2018, Goebel IMS established a partnership with Laem System S.r.l., an Italy-based manufacturer of slitter rewinder machines.

Key market players in slitter rewinder machines market tend to make investments in research & development and technology promotion.

• On 23rd April 2018, Goebel IMS opened a new customer innovation and application center in Italy, focusing on machine demonstration, training, interaction with experts on-site, and testing new applications.
• On 4th October 2017, Parkinson Technologies Inc. added a technology lab at its headquarters for development and testing of advanced technologies.
