Strategic Leadership Recent leadership changes at Maxcess including the appointment of a Global Vice President of Product Strategy & Development signals a strategic push in product innovation and differentiation. This presents opportunities to engage in joint product roadmaps, early access discussions, and co-development of new web handling solutions aligned with Tidland’s core shafts, slitting systems, and safety chucks.

Product Innovation Maxcess has expanded its portfolio with new plasma coatings, Fife Guiding Solutions, and other advanced web handling devices. Target potential sales by offering upgraded components, high-worse durability coatings, and precision guiding solutions that complement Tidland’s slitting and winding systems, particularly for challenging substrates.

Expansion & Events Active participation in industry events and partnerships (Labelexpo, Battery Show, webinars with Valley Grinding) indicates ongoing market expansion and evangelism. Sales opportunities exist in co-marketing, bundled demonstrations, and pilot projects with converters attending these events.

Digital Readiness Adoption of ERP and CRM platforms (Salesforce, SAP) and analytics tools (Hyperion, Piwik) suggests a data-driven sales approach. Leverage this by proposing integrated solutions, data-enabled maintenance and performance analytics for Tidland components within Maxcess’ web handling ecosystem.

Market Positioning Mid-market visibility with revenue in the tens of millions and a sizable employee base positions Maxcess as a synergistic partner for extended value chains. Focus on cross-sell of Tidland core shafts, air chucks, and slitting systems to converters seeking reliable, long-lasting operation and end-to-end web handling efficiency.
