HISTORY
Bronly S. Boyd founded Boyd Converting Company, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation located in South Lee, Massachusetts, in October, 1979 to provide converting services to manufacturers of specialty paper and non-woven materials. In 1988 the Company started marketing several highly specialized materials in niche markets such as Capacitor Paper, Coffee Vending Tape, Depilatory Strips and High Efficiency Filtrations Papers. The success of the Specialty Materials segment has allowed Boyd Converting to expand its Marketing and Product Development Department and strengthened its organization in the areas of quality control, customer service and production planning.
Today Boyd supplies industrial customers high value-added non-woven and specialty paper products and converting services for very technical applications. Its manufacturing plant, containing its slitting, rewinding, sheeting, die cutting and ultrasonic bonding lines and adjacent warehouse, are located in South Lee, Massachusetts. The Company specializes in products, which require precision manufacturing within a controlled environment for customers with strict documentation procedures. In many cases, the product becomes a component of the customer's product; for example, capacitor paper in electrolytic capacitors, coil insulation paper in electric coils, wipers inside floppy discs, wipers on equipment making electrical circuit boards and ceramic capacitors, and the release paper on Band-Aids. ISO 9002 Certification was obtained in 1997. In 2003 The Company was recertified to the revised standard ISO 9001-2000.
