Recently, it purchased an eTURRET slitter/rewinder from Comexi. It was the first company in the United States to install one, and, as far as Castillo knows, Portco is the only company with an eTURRET in operation in the U.S.

"The eTURRET wasn't the least expensive, but it's the best technologically and mechanically," Castillo says. "It's operator friendly and the installation was flawless. We were in production two days after it was installed. It allows us to keep our costs down, and we doubled our production overnight. It's an example of staying ahead of the curve. It's a long-term piece of equipment."
