Our most advanced industrial engineering project has just started materializing in Denton, said Marcos Conde Ramalho, president of Madem-Moorecraft Reels USA, an associate member of the Southern Forest Products Association. This manufacturing system consists of innovative machinery and brings pride to the Madem-Moorecraft team and Madem Group worldwide.

Phase 2 is expected to be completed next year and will provide an additional 50 percent capacity increase. The total investment will exceed $14 million and create more than 100 jobs.
We are very happy with the growth of our production in the United States, and we appreciate the partnership with our customers, said Gino Francesco Mazzoccato, president of Madem Group. We will continue to strive towards excellence in our products and services.
