Advantages of Being a 3M Preferred Converter

Being a 3M Preferred Converter means belonging to an elite class of converting companies that consistently demonstrate superior quality control, manufacturing capabilities, technical expertise, and customer service. While many companies can purchase and convert 3M™ materials, only a select few earn the 3M Preferred Converter designation. CFS is proud to be part of this exclusive group.

How Does Being a 3M Preferred Converter Benefit Our Customers?

As a 3M Preferred Converter, CFS combines its expertise with a range of 3M industrial adhesive tape solutions to provide custom-converted parts tailored to your specific needs. This partnership offers several key advantages:

3. Direct Access to 3M Specialists

  • With thousands of 3M™ products available, selecting the best material for your application can be challenging.
