BW Converting: A STEP-CHANGE IN ENERGY SAVING AND WASTE REDUCTION

BW Converting Hero

BW Converting, a global leader in converting technology, has merged PCMC and Winkler+Dünnebier (W+D) to drive innovation in hygiene machinery. Under W+D's brand, the company offers perfectly crafted machines for disposable hygiene products such as baby, menstrual, and incontinence care, as well as underpads and folded tissue.

At the heart of BW Converting's operations is the belief that every product should be made with exceptional precision and care. This commitment is reflected in their slogan: Personal Care, Perfectly Crafted. It highlights the relentless pursuit of excellence, ensuring that both quality and sustainability are embedded in every provided solution.

To support global sustainability goals, BW Converting has introduced innovations reducing energy consumption and waste in the hygiene industry:

70% Less Energy in Core Formation

BW Converting has revolutionized core formation for absorbent hygiene products. The latest drumformer reduces energy use by up to 70% in underpad production. As Marc Wolpers, VP Sales & Business Development Hygiene Solutions, BW Converting Neuwied, explains: "This breakthrough technology is essential for cutting CO2 emissions and production costs. We plan to extend it to baby, menstrual, and incontinence care machines."

85% Less Waste in Personal-Care Wrapping

TO-GO Ministack reduces single-wrapping material by up to 85% for ultrathin liners, menstrual pads, and bladder-control pads. The system, based on BW Converting's handkerchief technology, wraps 3-5 folded non-wrapped products in a reclosable pouch made of sustainable material such as paper, bio-based or recycled films. With speeds of up to 300 ministacks per minute, TO-GO outperforms traditional bag fillers.

BW Converting also offers sustainable plastic-saving solutions, such as inline single-wrapping in small paper envelopes, delivering premium products for the green market-segment.

At BW Converting, sustainability is integral to our mission. Our Personal Care, Perfectly Crafted philosophy drives us to create solutions that improve lives while reducing environmental impact–aligned with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
