History

In 1990, Wolfgang Geisinger acquired Ayer's Cliff Industries Ltd, a local machine shop from Ayer's Cliff, Quebec and founded Wulftec International Inc. The first stretch wrapper was manufactured in the following year. In 2002, M.J. Maillis Group announces the acquisition of Wulftec International Inc., the leading manufacturer of stretch wrapping machines in Canada.[1] The Group's global resources and knowledge have since strengthened Wulftec's competitive advantage and ability to provide more solutions to meet the individual needs of its customers.

In November 2005, Wulftec announced an investment of $1.5 million to further increase productivity[2]. The investment involved a major expansion of Wulftec's plant in Ayer's Cliff, increasing the total surface area from the current 110,000 square feet to a whopping 136,000 square feet.
