PE firm confirms merger of Maxcess and Webex

Bertram Capital acquired Maxcess earlier this year, and bought Webex in early 2013, and will now operate them as one under the Maxcess name, and also retain the brands of Webex, Fife, Tidland and MAGPOWR.

For Webex customers, the precision idler, bowed, heat transfer and vacuum roll products with which they are familiar will now be supported by a large local sales and service team. Maxcess has a global manufacturing footprint and a global network of sales representatives and field service personnel. Webex customers will also be able to work with this same network to access web guiding, slitting, winding and tension control technology.

For Maxcess customers, the merger adds the critical precision idler, bowed, heat transfer and vacuum roll products already in use on their web lines to the guiding, slitting, winding and tension products available from the Fife, Tidland and MAGPOWR brands.

In a statement, Bertram Capital said: ‘The merger of Maxcess and Webex brings new strength to both companies. The combination of these two industry leaders will leverage Maxcess’ global sales, service and manufacturing footprint to bring precision Webex roll products to the worldwide market; with the same level of engineering expertise, quality and support for which Maxcess brands have always been known.’
