Brown Forms Alliance

Brown Machine LLC has contracted The Foxmor Group to expand its sales of cut sheet thermoforming equipment. This alliance was developed to offer and focus Brown Machine's equipment in markets not traditionally served by Brown. The alliance offers dedicated specialized services for cut sheet users, and one of the industry's broadest arrays of solutions for increasing productivity and profitability.

"We're very excited about this affiliation with Foxmor because these expanded services will benefit cut sheet thermoformers of all types and sizes," said Dick Lacana, Brown Machine president.

Brown Machine is one of the top thermoforming equipment designers and manufacturers and believes this alliance not only gives them greatly expanded marketing coverage, it will also provide customers and prospects with enhanced technical contact and increased developmental efficiencies.

Foxmor, formed in 1998, offers a full range of services including a complete complement of manufacturing and marketing consulting services.

"In addition to all the cut sheet services we'll be performing for Brown Machine's customers and prospects, we also offer a full range of pellet-to-product capabilities and this affiliation is a very strategic fit for cut sheet thermoformers," stated Roger Fox, Foxmor's co-founder.

Foxmor offers a complete line of equipment, including heavy gauge tooling, mold temp controllers (with complete water systems), extruders, grinders, shredders, robotics and band saws to serve total industry needs.

Brown Machine designs, engineers and manufactures continuous and sheet-fed thermoformers, trim presses, as well as tooling and related components. Brown is a pioneer and continues to be a leader the industry in conventional cut sheet, high-pressure and twin-sheet thermoforming process technology, and provides specialty systems for such applications as automotive, appliance and industrial market segments.
