About FAS Converting
Built for Production. Designed for Profit.
At FAS Converting, every machine is engineered to do more than just run — it’s built to optimize uptime, reduce waste, and deliver dependable ROI from day one. With roots going back to 1978, our Swedish‑engineered converting systems have helped converters around the world streamline production of garbage bags, retail carriers, specialty bags, and other film‑based products.
Our equipment is designed to operate continuously — whether in‑line directly with extrusion systems for maximum efficiency and minimal handling, or off‑line for flexible production layouts. These versatile configurations help you minimize scrap, lower maintenance costs, and simplify operations, even with complex materials like recycled or biodegradable films.
From modular trash bag lines to robust winders and tension‑free sealing technology, FAS systems are built to deliver consistent quality at scale. Their smart design features — like interchangeable modules, intuitive controls, and remote service readiness — help you boost productivity while reducing labor and downtime.
Whether you’re producing landfill, retail, or specialized film products, FAS systems are a smart investment — combining decades of proven performance with the precision, consistency, and efficiency your business needs to stay competitive now and into the future.
History
The letters ‘FAS’ stands for Flyghagen, Andersson and Stenqvist, the three founders of the company.
As one of the early pioneers of in-line bag making, FAS invented and refined bag machines, winders, and other film converting equipment targeted towards the production of trash bags on roll applications.
As line speeds increased, raw materials changed, and bag features were added; FAS kept pace with the development, launching new bag machines, draw tape equipment, coreless winders, industrial winders, rotary cutters, and folders. The company grew and prospered, outgrowing its facilities and moving several times.
During the 1980’s, Peco Inc was founded in New Jersey, USA, and became a strategic partner with FAS, serving the North American market. Peco built equipment in the USA under license to FAS.
Today, FAS Converting has a broad product range covering all from industrial winders, with or without perforator for pallet covers, agricultural film, sheetings to food and freezer and garbage bags, wave top, and draw-tape.
We install and support our systems globally, with our major markets being Europe and North America. Our head office is located in Arlöv, Sweden.
