October 30, 2008, marked a historic day for the screen media industry as Major Wire Screen Media Ltd.—a division of Major Wire Industries Ltd.—opened its doors to the public. More than 40 local aggregate producers, recyclers and Major Wire Authorized Dealers from the western United States and Canada attended the event. Highlights included:
Speeches from the new facility’s partners and local dignitaries on how it will better meet the needs of Major Wire’s customers.
An interactive “Screening Maintenance Seminar” that addressed how Authorized Dealers can best solve customer screening inefficiency.
Facility tours showing screen media being manufactured.
Ribbon-cutting ceremony and seafood barbecue.
The new facility officially opened production in July 2008, and the open house was a good opportunity to show how it provides customers with reduced shipping costs and faster lead times for our OptimumWire® woven wire. If you missed the event, check out these photos and give us a call to see how we can solve your screening inefficiency needs.
Announcing Major Wire Screen Media Ltd.
Puyallup, Washington
Managed by Washington State native Mark Roppo, Major Wire Screen Media Ltd. is a new weaving and finishing facility recently established as a division of Montreal, Canada–based Major Wire Industries Ltd.
Our primary goal is to serve our local screening customers in western Washington and Major Wire’s western North American Authorized Dealer network with the company’s broad range of screen media solutions. With this new facility, we can now offer high-performance OptimumWire® woven wire as well as all other Major Wire screening solutions for the quarry, mining, green waste, mulch and recycle markets in North America.
“As a former Authorized Dealer for Major Wire, I had helped drive the Flex-Mat® 3 sales in western Washington. When Major Wire’s President Jean Leblond asked me to partner with him to open a regional weaving and finishing facility it was clearly an opportunity to serve my customers even better with a premium woven wire line as well.”
Mark Roppo, Vice President
Major Wire Screen Media Ltd. operates from a brand new 28,400-square-foot weaving and finishing facility just 20 minutes from the Seattle airport in Puyallup, WA. Joining Mark Roppo is Office Manager Debra Hickam and Plant Manager Steve Padilla. Additional employees have been hired to weave, hook and ship finished woven wire.
“We have wanted to deliver finished high-performance OptimumWire woven wire to our western Washington customers and West Coast dealers for several years now, but the freight costs from Montreal prevented us from doing this. However, with our new facility outside of Seattle, we can now focus customers on the quality and performance and not the freight cost.”
