Since 1955, Spoolex has been providing productive and reliable converting equipment and services


adapted to customer needs. Different solutions have been developed such as robots or automated carriages for large mother rolls loading, fully-automated in-line ultrasonic splicing benches, unloading robots or modules, conveying with weighing, stretch film or cover packing, box packing, labelling, palletising options and more.


IN-HOUSE ORGANISATION To support its customers throughout its converting project, from design to finished equipment, ready to produce, Spoolex’s integrated R&D and engineering department designs tailored machine concepts and supports customers in choosing the most suitable technological solutions. Thanks to its testing shop, the company’s process specialist can set-up and perform trials with all unwinding, splicing, slitting and rewinding/spooling Spoolex technologies; this support is a guarantee to define the most cost effective standard or specific solution. Working with Spoolex Group, you will get


strong and reactive support all over the world with a dedicated customer service team either for technical assistance or for training, support and commissioning. With a single contact point and thanks to

eneral manager of Spoolex, Cyrille Pontet, says: “One year ago, an important leading group


trusted Spoolex for manufacturing a fully automated converting cell. Then, a few months ago, another company told us ‘we are quite convinced that the key of productivity is in peripheral tools more than the machine speed itself!’ This is confirming our strategic thoughts: We need to bring global solutions to increase our customers’ competitiveness. Spoolex Group has all in-house competences to act as a sole supplier for converting machines and upstream and downstream equipment of production lines.” Spoolex is organised in four brands and


provides three types of products - converting equipment, robots and automated systems, and components. Calemard: Designing and manufacturing


slitter-rewinders and spooling lines: - Over 8,000 slitter-rewinders and spooling lines in operation in over 100 countries; - Leader in jumbo spooling and spooling of sensitive materials; - 60 years worth of expertise in slitting and tension control. Decoup+: Designing and manufacturing


ultrasonic cutting/sealing devices: - Worldwide presence since 1975; - Industrial range from 75 to 1,200W; - Handled devices, semi-automated workstation or devices to be integrated on existing lines, used at each step of

production (from looms to final make-up). Roll Concept: Designing and


manufacturing technical low inertia rollers: - 25 years’ expertise in a wide range of aluminium, steel, composites roller, thermal roller, winding cores and core adaptors. RSPI, the newcomer in the Group, is


specialised in the engineering of handling/conveying and automation turnkey solutions for various industries: - 10 years of expertise in industrial robots and integration of robotised cells.


THE SMART MANUFACTURING ERA Even more than in the past, Spoolex assists its customers to move in the ‘smart manufacturing’ era. To help its customers bring their production tools up-to-date and to improve safety and healthy working conditions, the company’s innovative program has driven its integrated engineering department to develop several automated solutions around its know-how, to propose global offerings with flexible machinery and smart automation. Thanks to the Calemard converting


processes experience and RSPI’s handling processes expertise, Spoolex’s engineers can design systems to reduce labour costs and to maximise production efficiency. From a simple mother roll loading assistance system on a converting machine to a fully- automated line with robots and automation, Spoolex Group offers solutions to improve loading, handling, conveying, packaging and palletising operations, but these are always

a systemised analysis needs approach, Spoolex Group is able to manage all in- house complete projects for both simple and complicated problems. Working closely with Spoolex Group ensures efficiency, reliability, safety and serenity throughout the entire project, from first contact to equipment commissioning. The acquisition of RSPI is the first step in


the company’s strategic roadmap. In just a few months its next steps will be unveiled. Future plans include an expansion of the Calemard range and expansions of its site to include 50 per cent more production space, and this will also include a larger testing shop.
