About Us

At BW Converting, we bring Change for the Better. We innovate, design, manufacture and service converting machinery and other solutions for the tissue, hygiene, print, packaging, mailing and textiles industries, as well as other high-performance industrial applications.

Our company is the combination of six historic brands, brought together under one global entity in 2023 to unify their legacies of quality and innovation, better meeting the needs of the industries we serve. These brands include Paper Converting Machine Company (PCMC), Winkler+Dünnebier (W+D), Baldwin Technology Co., Hudson-Sharp, STAX Technologies, and Northern Engraving and Machine. All of these familiar manufacturing brands are trusted, industry-leading names in market technology.

BW Converting is part of the Barry-Wehmiller (BW) family, a global firm made of more than 130 acquisitions, serving dozens of industries, in more than 100 countries around the world. By blending people-centric leadership with disciplined operational strategies and purpose-driven growth, Barry-Wehmiller has become a $3.6 billion organization with nearly 12,000 team members united by a common belief: to use the power of business to build a better world.

BW Converting’s tagline, Change for the Better, reflects the duality in our mission. Because the equipment we develop and build changes and transforms many raw materials from one purpose to a greater one – creating goods for the benefit of humanity – we are supporting all our customers’ and markets’ goals. But it also aligns with Barry-Wehmiller’s purpose to build a better world and desire to measure success by the way we touch others’ lives. It signifies a commitment to betterment that reaches outside our facilities and extends into the lives of consumers and society.
