7th Annual Guide to Contract Converting

Compiled by Laura McCluskey, Associate Editor -- Converting Magazine, 1/1/2001

This exclusive special report presents over 100 contract converters-companies that turn raw materials or partially converted materials into finished products on a contract basis.

To help your search for local services, this format lists the companies alphabetically by state location of plants in a geographic index. Following the company name is a list of contract converting services offered (See abbreviations below). An address, phone, fax (second number listed), e-mail, Web site and contact person is included for each firm, if available. Other plant locations are shown in italics.

To keep our services at your fingertips, we are providing this listing on our Web site at www.convertingmagazine.com. Because this listing will remain live year-round, you still have a chance to include your company, if missed. Would you like a hot link from our site to yours? This service can still be offered as well. For updates and hot links, please send an e-mail to lmccluskey@cahners.com and your company will be added.

The 7th Annual Guide to Contract Converting is based on responses from a survey mailed to contract converters listed in our Machinery/Materials Buyers Guide, and unsolicited requests. It is not intended to be all-inclusive.

If you would like to receive a survey for the Buyers Guide 2002, send a request on company letterhead to: Managing Editor, Converting, 2000 Clearwater Dr., Oak Brook, IL 60523, Fax: 630/320-7484.
