PAPER PROS…WILL YOU BE AT TAPPICON 2025? WE WILL!

JADCO • Rich F.2025-04-16T09:48:47-04:00

Be sure to visit our JADCO PROS at booth #824 for the best in wear resistant materials…as we’re at TAPPICON 2025 in Minneapolis Minnesota. When?

It’s May 4th through the 7th, 2025.

Tappicon 2025

As the paper industry continues to consolidate and reduce the number of papermills in North America, it is vital you extract maximum results from every dollar you invest in your equipment.

Yet competition between paper companies and foreign imports demand every decision you make has to be strategic for your continued survival. You passed ‘Lean & Mean’ decades ago. Mistakes in selecting the best equipment can result in closing your doors for good.

 

Cheap Wear Steel

Here are the results when you select low cost, underperforming wear resistant steel. What looked like a bargain turned into an expensive option when breakdowns continually required immediate repairs to the equipment.

When it works, it’s cheap.
When it doesn’t, it’s expensive!”

– Jim Rohn. From “The Five Major Pieces to the Life Puzzle.”

A competitor recently viewed a wear plate installation during a paper industry tour. For decades the customer had continually added AR400 or AR450 patches to battle excessive wear.
Their results were unacceptable.

JADCO suggested using CHROMEWELD ™ 600 chrome carbide wear plate to address the CAUSE of wear, where the previous vendor had only addressed the symptoms.

After seeing the CHROMEWELD ™ 600 installation in person, the former vendor’s immediate response was, “We could have done that for you!”

JADCO suggested using CHROMEWELD ™ 600 chrome carbide wear plate to address the CAUSE of wear, where the previous vendor had only addressed the symptoms.

The customer instantly shot back, “Then why didn’t you bring it up instead of selling me what didn’t work year after year?” You can imagine his red face was rapidly followed by stammering and excuses.

You Can Make Money, Or You Can Make Excuses.
The Real Cost Is Missing Out On What Is Possible.
Your Decisions Determine Your Results.

If you’re interested in acquiring information on JADCO’s products for the Pulp and Paper industry check out our Industries Page.

As the leading manufacturer of Chrome Carbide Overlay (CCO) plate in the USA, you can depend on the results you get from JADCO.  Most steel distributors buy foreign CCO which has little carbide content, and even less quality control.  Our entire CHROMEWELD family of CCO products are made at our headquarters in Harmony, PA, 30 minutes North of Pittsburgh.  

JADCO CLAD

To make certain we deliver the longest lasting materials to our customers, JADCO has created our own clad machines. This gives us total control over every aspect of making our industry leading CHROMEWELD overlay plate.  

Never consider the CHROMEWELD ™ family of products as a “One Size Fits All” wear plate.  Our customers are always looking to us for continuous improvement, and rely upon JADCO to continue to create new products, to address their specific wear challenges.  

This further improves your wear plate performance results by having the Research and Development for these state-of-the-art wear resistant products. Each one is already completed and proven in real world applications, before you ever install them in your equipment.

 

For over 45 years, JADCO has focused exclusively on delivering consistent, longer life for our customers.

We pride ourselves to deliver “Walk Away Results” to you. This means after you install JADCO wear resistant steel products, we are both able to walk away knowing you will not lose sleep wondering if these wear products will fail in your equipment at the worst possible time. Not with JADCO.

Allow us to help you today by emailing us at info@jadcomfg.com or calling (724) 452-5252.

We will schedule a meeting with one of our local wear plate specialists at a time that best fits your schedule.

Remember, the only thing you have to lose by not working with JADCO, are your profits.

When your usual clad plate gives out, give JADCO a shout!
