Company Overview
SDF Strapping, Inc. is an innovative product development and manufacturing corporation offering unique, sustainable strapping products to multiple global markets and industries. Our strapping products are paper‐based patented alternatives to traditional wire and plastic strapping. We provide customers with viable, cost‐effective solutions to meet the increasing demand for environmentally responsible packaging materials while also improving other issues such as safety, handling costs, equipment maintenance and downtime associated with the use of wire and plastic. Our company was established in June of 2003 with the corporate offices, research lab, manufacturing line, and warehouse located in a 20,000 sq. ft. facility in Brillion, WI, USA. This location (within minutes of the Fox River Valley also known as "The Heart of the Paper Industry") has afforded our research team access to the many intellectual resources available in the area for development of our patented paper products. In October 2006, SDF was awarded a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark office on our improved paper strap (US Patent Number 7,118,648). Our industrial paper strap offers customers a cost effective option to widely used plastic strapping utilized in numerous industries for packaging. In this era of growing awareness for environmental stewardship, SDF is the first company to provide an alternative to plastic that is designed for strength yet water soluble and eco‐friendly. Our pulp strap is engineered to replace the traditional wire used in the pulp baling industry. For the pulp mill customer, this pulp strap offers a highly desired and very marketable solution to their customers (paper mills) dealing with wire issues including employee injuries (safety), pulper downtime (wire stuck in equipment), and handling costs in wire removal. This product is capable of supporting over 450 lbs. of tensile strength, yet was designed to break down along with the pulp and become part of the paper making process. SDF strives to promote progress in green initiatives by offering products made from a sustainable, renewable resource that are ecologically responsible and fully recyclable. As a Christian company, we fully recognize our responsibility to oversee our natural resources and monitor the environmental impact of our business practices. Remaining vigilant in this goal is paramount, as our accountability is to our Lord and Creator. Recyclable
