AUTOMATED CONVERTING MACHINERY THAT PROMISES SPEED, EFFICIENCY & RELIABILITY. LIKE NO OTHER.
Based in Hanover, PA ELSNER has been designing and manufacturing an innovative line-up of automated and robotic machinery to convert papers, films, foils, plastics and nonwovens for over 85 years.

Helping Customers Keep up with Demands & Fill Manufacturing Gaps
Manufacturers have needed more resilience to disruption as they continue to face ongoing challenges with the COVID-19 crisis and labor shortages. ELSNER has helped our customers who produce essential products maintain throughput and boost productivity during these challenging times. Our ENR-Series rewinders are the world-wide gold standard in canister wipes production, so we've been busier than ever keeping up with the demands our customers have faced. We've also provided complex automated solutions in the filtration and medical disposable markets, automating repetitive tasks in manufacturing water filters and custom medical drapes.
We believe that good business partnerships forge great outcomes, so we developed the ELSNER Tech Center to leverage our expertise and experience. Through using our machines to convert products, R&D and substrate testing, we’ve helped both established wipes manufacturers AND up-and-comers fill manufacturing gaps during the pandemic.
