Xerium Technologies, Inc., a leading global provider of industrial consumable products and services, has announced two plant expansion projects to enhance its rolls products and mechanical services capabilities for the North American market.

Xerium will expand and modernize its Griffin, Georgia plant and Neenah, Winconsin plant.

The company plans to broaden its mechanical service offering, expand its capabilities for rubber roll recovering, and expand its capabilities for industrial roll recovering at Griffin. It also plans to broaden its product offering by installing a state-of the-art polyurethane roll cover production cell, and increase the size and breadth of its mechanical services department in order to more broadly serve customers in Neenah, according to a press release.

The new investments are expected to lower lead times and generate increased sales volumes in the region. Both the projects are expected to be completed by 2015.

Both the Griffin and Neenah facilities manufacture and repair large rolls used in the production of paper, containerboard, boxboard, tissue, pulp, nonwoven fabrics, fibre cement siding, steel, film production, and flexible packaging.

Mr.Harold Bevis, president and CEO of Xerium Technologies said, “These expansions enhance Xerium’s product and service offerings to customers in these areas of the North American market. Both modernization projects enable these two plants to supply all of Xerium’s roll product portfolio and mechanical service technologies to assist large machine owners in these regions to achieve optimized machine performance.”

Xerium Technologies utilizes a broad portfolio of patented and proprietary technologies to provide customers with tailored solutions and products integral to production, all designed to optimize performance and reduce operational costs. The company has 27 manufacturing facilities in 12 countries, 2 new plants under construction in 2 countries and employs approximately 3,200 employees. (GK)
