For more than 35 years, Fox River Associates has partnered with specialty converters across North America to supply high-quality paper and film release liners for the most demanding converting and die-cutting applications. From industrial and electronics to medical and automotive parts, converters rely on us for our deep technical knowledge, broad product inventory, and responsive, no-hassle service.
Unlike large global suppliers, Fox River Associates is easy to work with, fast to respond, and dedicated to keeping your converting operations running smoothly. Whether you’re developing a new adhesive component or managing production runs for established products, we have the technical expertise and release liner solutions you need — without the burden of large minimum order quantities.
Supporting Specialty Converters in Every Industry
Specialty converters play an essential role in transforming jumbo rolls of pressure-sensitive tapes and adhesives into the small, complex, and highly engineered parts that drive today’s most advanced products.
These converters deliver precision services such as:
- Adhesive coating, laminating, and spooling
- Die-cutting and kiss-cutting
- Slitting, sheeting, and custom roll formatting
Fox River Associates supports these operations by supplying paper release liner or film release liner to match your processing needs, adhesive systems, and final application. Our release liners are trusted in markets such as:
- Industrial manufacturing – insulation, bonding, and protective products
- Electronics – EMI shielding, gaskets, and thermal management materials
- Medical – wearable patches, diagnostic devices, and wound care components
- Automotive – sound damping, assembly bonding, and protection films
We’re proud to serve specialty converters in Southern California, a hub for advanced manufacturing and innovation, as well as converters throughout the Midwest, Southeast, and across North America.
