RotoMetrics

What RotoMetrics does

RotoMetrics is a specialist manufacturer of rotary die cutting solutions serving the packaging, labeling, and industrial manufacturing industries. The company designs and produces both flexible dies (SmartFlex Series, Prime Series, UltraFilm, Dura Series, GoldLine Special, MicroBlade) for short-run, digital, semi-rotary, thin film, RFID, and abrasive applications, and solid dies (RD90 through RD300 plus Challenger) engineered for the longest production runs and high-speed wide-web converting. Supporting offerings include RotoRepel and RotoRepel RX performance coatings, magnetic cylinders, rotary anvils, print sleeves and cylinders, and aftermarket services such as die rebuilding and repair, quality assurance, product evaluation, and custom die design. Manufacturing is automated across all global locations to tighten tolerances and improve blade consistency, with same-day and next-day capacity globally.

RotoMetrics operates as a flagship brand within Maxcess International, a strategic parent that owns complementary web-handling brands — Fife (web guiding), Tidland (slitting), MAGPOWR (tension control), WEBEX (precision rolls), Componex, Valley Roller, and International Cutting Die. Distribution combines a global direct sales force with online customer portals (MyRoto worldwide, MyMaxcess US and EU) and an E-commerce shop on the Maxcess storefront, enabling multi-tier engagement from enterprise converters to smaller customers. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of rotary dies and accessories, supplemented by recurring service, repair, and consumable coating revenue. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contract cadence. The company holds ISO certifications (linked from Maxcess corporate) and registered trademarks including RotoRepel, WINertia, WINtrac, and Perma-Tork.
