History
Founded in 1969 by Bob Fulton, Web Industries is a classic example of a successful entrepreneurial start-up in America. With only a little money scraped together from friends and family, Bob initially focused Web on providing the unmet need of regional converting services (slitting and rewinding of flexible materials) in the Boston area. Over the years, the business model was refined and new manufacturing capabilities and locations were added to answer customer needs for advanced converting of their flexible materials.
Today, the company has grown to five locations totaling 400,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing space in the United States. The people at Web have established the company as an industry leader and enjoy long-standing relationships with various Fortune 500 clients in multiple industries including medicine, aerospace, and consumer products.
In addition to state-of-the-art flexible material converting services, Web offers an array of value-added services such as automated assembly and packaging, specialty plastic film extrusion, electronic document control and complete supply chain management solutions.
Values
From our earliest days we have always strived to build our business on the principles of fairness, integrity, and respect for people. Our overarching value is the belief that people have inherent worth and our business respects this worth in everything we do.
Our goal is to produce superior quality products and converting services in an environment where people can reach their potential as human beings. We have demonstrated that when our people flourish, our business thrives and our customers' needs are fully satisfied.
Employee Ownership
In 1985, Web became an employee-owned company. Through an employee stock ownership plan, employees own 100% of the company.
We believe our employee ownership culture gives us, and ultimately gives our customers, a competitive advantage. Our employee owners are motivated to eliminate waste and deliver value every day.
With excellent employee retention, our tenured workforce brings tremendous experience and know-how to the work place, knowing that they will share in the company’s success by exceeding customer expectations. We embrace the most difficult converting challenges on behalf of our customers because we have the confidence born from decades of innovative process development and problem resolution.
