Precision Slitter Rewinder Manufacturer

Company Overview

As a dedicated slitter rewinder manufacturer, Nicely Machinery Development Co., Ltd. has designed and built precision slitter rewinders since 1984, serving converters in papers, films, nonwovens, electrical insulation materials, and metal foils across more than 60 countries. With over 1,700 machines in operation worldwide, Nicely is recognized as a specialist in high-difficulty converting applications — including copper foil slitting at 6 μm thickness, nonwoven slitting at 1,200 m/min, and electrical insulation material handling for motor winding processes. In 2015, Nicely was awarded Best Indirect Supplier in the Asia Pacific region by Avery Dennison.

Nicely engineers evaluate material properties, slit width tolerance, finished roll geometry, and tension requirements before machine design is finalized — from initial specification through factory acceptance test (FAT). Throughout the entire process, from initial design to final delivery, we emphasize efficiency, quality, and meeting customer expectations.

Our rich legacy of excellence in the slitter rewinding industry is a source of pride for us. We strive to continuously offer innovative and reliable solutions to our global clientele.

Choose Nicely Machinery, you can trust that you are selecting a partner dedicated to your success.

Nicely Established

Nicely Machinery Development Co., Ltd was founded in 1984 by Mrs. Liza Kao as president and Mr. Chi-ing Chen as vice president in Taiwan.
Through nearly 4 decades of roots in high-grade slitter rewinders, Nicely has made themselves a standout among other major slitter makers and have become well recognized in various industries.

Corporation Vision

Nicely continues to develop new slitter rewinder configurations in direct response to customer process challenges — from ultra-thin copper foil handling to wide-format nonwoven tension control — rather than from catalogue extension alone. Each new machine variant begins with an engineering evaluation of the customer's material and converting process, ensuring that every Nicely slitter rewinder delivered is built for the application it will run.
