It is often the case that subsidiaries of parent companies get lost in the shuffle of day-to-day business.  At Beckmann Converting, Inc, headquartered in Amsterdam, NY, Sandel International, Inc is one wholly owned subsidiary that never loses it's visibility with company leadership.  The unit manufactures Sandel Fire Barrier Fabrics, used in multiple applications across a range of industries.

"Two styles of Sandel Fabric are used as a fire barrier in the construction of upholstered furniture", reports Ray Piascik, Vice President of Marketing and Sales for Beckmann.  "Another style is used to manufacture fire blankets and smoke curtains for use on sea going vessels, including the US Navy", Piascik continues.  The product line has proven to be well performing with the customers using it.

Key to keeping attention on Sandel at Beckmann Converting is the inclusion of Sandel related business and manufacturing processes as part of the company's Quality Management System.  The company's certification to ISO 9001:2015, which was renewed for three years in July 2025, covers the Sandel subsidiary as well as the toll converting services provided by Beckmann Converting. 

"Our commitment to Sandel Fire Barrier Fabrics remains high, and we expect continued growth into the future", concluded Piascik.  To learn more about Beckmann Converting, Inc, Click HERE.
