Lightweight Machine Conference & Workshop Update  

(as of late March 2010)

Announcement--April 12, 2010--Updates

Two important matters this week in the way of updates:

1. Don't forget,  the pre-registration conference price of $75.00 ends on April 17th.

2. A discussion is being added on "C & I" Tissue.  It looks like a tissue machine will be on the market by June 2010 that will completely revolutionize the C & I Tissue manufacturing business within five years or so.  It is our opinion it may render current machines and converting plants obsolete quickly.  If you are in the C & I Tissue business, you will not want to miss this important presentation.
