Maillis Group announced the acquisition of Wulftec International Inc., the leading manufacturer of stretch wrapping machines in Canada.
In November 2005, Wulftec International Inc. announced an investment of $1.5 million to further increase productivity. The investment involved a major expansion of Wulftec's plant in Ayer's Cliff, increasing the total surface area from 110,000 square feet to 136,000 square feet.
In June 2014, Wulftec International Inc. announced the injection of over $1 million into its manufacturing plant to accommodate its growing business.

## Products
### Turntables

At the end of 2004, Wulftec International introduced the SMART Series to replace the WHP and WLP semi-automatic turntables. The SMART series is modular in design.
In fall 2008, Wulftec International standardized the WCA automatic turntable series on the same basis; merging the WCA-150 and the WCA-200 under a unique name: the WCA-SMART.

### Rotary arms

Wulftec International uses 25" ring GEAR bearing with pinion GEAR drive for unbeatable strength and durability.

### Orbital stretch wrapping

Orbital stretch wrapping was first introduced by Wulftec International in 2001 with the WRWA-200. The WRWA-200 strength and reliability come from its heavy duty structural steel construction and the heavy-duty ring bearing gearbelt drive system similar to the one used for crane and excavators. In 2011 the WRW-SPIN, a downsized version of the WRWA-200, was introduced, opening new markets for this type of machine.

### Strapping systems

The Maillis name has been recognized in the strapping industry in Europe for more than 40 years. In 2004, Maillis moved its production of high-end machinery for North America to Maillis Strapping Systems, in Fountain Inn, South Carolina. There, with domestic sourcing of off-the-shelf components, including Allen Bradley controls, Maillis Strapping Systems is producing strapping systems suited to the North American market. In 2010, the production of all strapping machinery was moved to the Wulftec facility in Ayer's Cliff, Quebec.

Wulftec International has built conveyors for many years and came up with multiple conveyor solutions for all types of industries. Over the years, Wulftec International has built various customized conveyors: rollers, chains, belt and v-shaped to name a few.
