MENDOTA, IL — Black Brothers Company has made plans to be part of numerous trade shows and industry conferences in 2025. Notably the venerable machinery manufacturer will take part in the Select SIPs Expo later this month.
“It’s a great event put on by truly passionate and knowledgeable people,” said Marketing Manager Clay Coss of the annual meetings being held Jan. 27-29 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. “Black Bros. has built and serviced (Structural Insulated Panel) equipment since the beginning, so it’s a pleasure to be involved and see what more we can bring to the table for our customers. Where are their pain points that we can go to work on providing solutions for? I’m excited about seeing everyone and having those conversations.”
The company’s largest marketing efforts in 2025 will be exhibiting at the AWFS Fair again in Las Vegas, NV on July-22-25. Black Bros. will be providing daily demonstrations of its automated Panel Express System. The machine line is capable of producing one laminated panel per minute with almost no additional press time. Curing is accelerated using heat and pressure to bond HPL to substrates such as particleboard or MDF.
“We’re all in for that one,” Coss said. “We’ll have some great machines there, and that push-button process is always so well received at the shows. And with our team, we’ll have an insane amount of experience and knowledge when it comes to anything coating or laminating.”
