SANDAR Industries was founded in 1975 by Peter Rodriguez who served the pulp & paper industry as sales representative in the Southeastern United States and South America.  Peter witnessed first-hand the hazards and inefficiencies associated with transferring a web of paper from a full reel to an empty spool.  In 1984 Peter developed and patented the first Turn-Up System Automatic, the TUSA;  a system that would keep operators safe while ensuring wrinkle-free reliable Turn-Ups.  Since then, SANDAR’s technology has become an industry standard with over 2000 installations and an estimated savings of 300 Million metric tons of product each year.

Holding true to a Pure & Simple design philosophy, SANDAR is relentless in its mission to maximize profits for our partners in the industry.
