Supporting Our Customers Amid Changes to Baldwin / BW / Primarc Replacement Parts Availability

Over the years, many of our customers have relied on Baldwin and Primarc UV / IR systems as part of their production process. Recently, we’ve been made aware of an upcoming change: as of June 30, 2026 BW Converting is discontinuing their line of UV, LED, and IR systems. We understand that this development may raise concerns about equipment longevity, maintenance planning, and long‑term reliability. Our goal with this message is to explain what’s happening — and more importantly, how we can help you move forward with confidence.

What This Means for Your Operation:

If you are operating Baldwin or Primarc curing systems, you may experience challenges sourcing:

1. Replacement UV lamps
2. Replacement IR lamps
3. Select spare parts

For customers still running these systems, this can impact routine maintenance, emergency repairs, and future production planning.

While the decision to discontinue parts supply was made by the OEM, the impact doesn’t have to mean equipment downtime or immediate equipment replacement.

Our Commitment: Solutions, Not Dead Ends

We specialize in helping customers navigate end‑of‑life equipment challenges. Even when OEM support changes, there are often reliable and cost‑effective paths forward.

Depending on your system and application, available options may include:

1. Compatible replacement lamps or components – many kept in stock
2. System retrofits or upgrades to extend the life of your existing equipment
3. Conversion solutions to newer UV or IR technologies with improved efficiency
4. Long‑term replacement planning to avoid unplanned downtime

We know unexpected supply changes can feel disruptive. The good news is:

1. Many systems can continue to operate reliably with the right support
2. There is no one‑size‑fits‑all answer
3. A thoughtful plan now can prevent costly interruptions later

Whether you need an immediate replacement lamp, short‑term support, or guidance on future upgrades, we’re here to help at every step.
