    Seeking to hear the "Ka-ching" of increased profits, Kadant makes recycling equipment that turns wastepaper into white and brown grades of recycled paper. The company's main products are stock preparation equipment, including pulping and trash removal systems; cleaning, screening, and de-inking systems; accessories to clean the rolls of paper-making equipment and to cut and remove sheets of paper; and equipment that recycles water from pulp slurry and processes reusable fiber. Kadant was spun off from Thermo Electron (now Thermo Fisher Scientific) in 2001. The company gets more than half of its sales outside the US. To read the full description, subscribe now.

    Competition

    Competitive Landscape for Kadant Inc.
    Demand depends primarily on the level of manufacturing and construction activity. Construction activity in the chemical, petroleum, utilities, water treatment, and housing industries is especially important. Large companies have advantages in efficiency of operations and economies of scale. Offshore subsidiaries are frequently used for low-cost manufacturing. Smaller producers compete by focusing on specialized product offerings and superior customer service. Metal valves compete with other materials, primarily plastics, in the residential market and with high-strength composites, fluorocarbons, and elastomers for high-end uses. To read the full description, subscribe now.
