- Published: February 20, 2026
BW Converting is a global designer and manufacturer of high‑performance machinery and auxiliary equipment serving the print and packaging markets. Across its three industry‑leading brands—Hudson‑Sharp, Paper Converting Machine Co. (PCMC), and Baldwin Technology—the organization delivers integrated solutions that address the market’s most pressing operational challenges, including skilled‑labor shortages, sustainability goals, and the growing need for Industry 4.0‑enabled automation.
As part of its broad converting portfolio, BW Converting’s Hudson‑Sharp brand delivers high‑performance wicketers, pouch machines, flat‑belt and bottom‑seal systems, continuous‑motion bag machines, and a wide variety of INNO-LOK® pre‑applied bag closure features. These technologies support converters producing flexible packaging products, helping improve uptime, reduce scrap, and maximize throughput—key drivers for competitiveness in a labor‑constrained environment.
For the print industry, BW Converting manufactures high‑performance printing presses under its PCMC brand. The PCMC brand offers its ELS-MAX in-line presses, Fusion Series central impression presses, and a digital-hybrid press as well as the Meridian Elite+, the industry-leading laser cleaner for anilox and gravure rolls. PCMC’s machinery supports customers across printing and packaging applications by delivering reliability, precision, and efficiency for processes that demand consistent quality and reduced waste.
Complementing this machinery expertise, BW Converting provides auxiliary print equipment, service, and consumables for the printing and packaging sectors under its Baldwin Technology brand. The Baldwin brand’s solutions include inspection, color management and registration systems, as well as corona treaters, blanket cleaners, and tunnel and tower dryers. Baldwin brand print enhancement, automation, and process optimization technologies serve a wide range of print markets and are built to improve productivity, quality, and energy performance across print and packaging operations.
Across all three brands, BW Converting’s engineering philosophy centers on solving customer pain points. In an era where manufacturers face ongoing skilled‑labor shortages, BW Converting designs equipment that simplifies operation, reduces manual intervention, and minimizes training requirements. Intuitive interfaces, automation, and advanced controls help operators achieve consistent performance with less specialized expertise. And with sustainability always top of mind, Hudson-Sharp, PCMC, and Baldwin brand products are designed to help reduce waste, lower energy consumption, and support the use of more sustainable materials.
Finally, BW Converting’s solutions align with Industry 4.0 principles, incorporating data connectivity, predictive capabilities, and smart automation. These features enable manufacturers to monitor performance, optimize processes in real time, and improve long‑term reliability across print and packaging workflows.
BW Converting’s comprehensive services include installation, start-up, training, and maintenance, all provided by a global network of highly skilled service technicians. Additionally, multiple spare parts stocking locations worldwide ensure your operations stay running smoothly. BW Converting delivers a comprehensive ecosystem of machinery, technology and service tailored to the evolving needs of the print and packaging markets, helping customers operate more efficiently, sustainably, and intelligently.
