PTi Retains Grupo Janfrex as Mexico Agent

Aurora IL, February 10, 2020— Processing Technologies International (PTi), Aurora, IL is pleased to announce the appointment of Grupo Janfrex as its exclusive agent and representative for PTi's extrusion systems and aftermarket sales for Mexico.  Grupo Janfrex, located in Guadalajara, Jal., Mexico, now represents PTi in the sales and promotion of PTi's complete line of products, including the state-of-the-art SUPER-G® HighSPEED^™ and HVTSE^® DryerLESS^™ extruders, and the G-SERIES^® Configurable Roll Stands.  In addition, Janfrex stocks spare parts for PTi equipment.

PTi is recognized as a global leader for the supply of high-performance sheet extrusion machinery, with an emphasis on superior equipment performance and sheet quality.  Product lines are comprised of single and twin screw extruders, providing conventional, dryerless, and multi-resin extrusion capabilities for the production of mono, multi-layer, high barrier, foam, fiber and various other applications.  Engineered to exact standards, PTi sheet extrusion systems provide solutions for a wide array of applications that include sheet, foam, compounding, and reclaim systems used in the packaging, automotive, construction, food and beverage, and agricultural industries. 

PTi has an established presence in Mexico, but recognizes that the growing demand of high-quality plastics production in the Mexican market and the necessity to meet the plastics industry's production, service and reclaim requirements, especially for PET applications, requires local support. Janfrex, with decades of experience and understanding of plastics production, maintenance and support, will provide the Mexican market with a fast-response local platform for PTi technology and services.

Janfrex Director General, Jesus Avelar, and his team, work collectively with Brian Winton, PTi's Director of North American Sales.  "We are encouraged by the opportunities that Mexico has to offer and look forward to establishing long-term relationships with industry leaders," says Winton.  As a kickoff to the collaboration between PTi and Janfrex, members of PTi's senior leadership, including Winton, will be present and available for discussion in the Janfrex booth #1009 at this year's upcoming Expo Plasticós, in Guadalajara, Mexico from March 11 to 13.  Those interested in PTi extrusion technologies are encouraged to visit us at booth #1009 and/or reach out to PTi or Janfrex.
