Gorham, ME-based web-control components supplier The Montalvo Corp. recently launched its new testing facility at the company's headquarters. The site contains all the elements needed for effective web control and tension testing: rolls, brakes, clutches, dancer rolls, electronic tension equipment, load cells and other equipment.

“This laboratory replaces our older test equipment with all the latest and best technology,” says president Edwin Montalvo. “We can simulate in the lab virtually any condition or situation a web customer might face in the field and solve many of their problems right here.”

Members of Montalvo's North American sales force (above) got an opportunity to see and learn from a web-control test bed at the new facility.
