Material Handler

About Converted Products

Founded in 1993 by Chris Gorenc, Converted Products Inc. began as a slitting and die cutting business in Milwaukee. Through innovation and strong relationships, the company expanded to include sheeting and ultrasonic laminating, tripling in size and relocating to a larger facility five years later. In February 2025, Converted Products was acquired by OXCO, LLC—a Fort Mill, SC-based custom non-woven converter founded the same year by Jeff and Erich Meier, who share Chris' entrepreneurial spirit and customer-first values.
