Central Converting is a Plastic Recycling and Materials Converting shop located in Riverton, MN. It all started in 1984 when Dave Wessel opened a small shop in Minneapolis, focusing on mechanical engineering. Over the years Dave and his Wife Kathy expanded Central Converting to include recycling plastics, warehousing, packaging and converting services. Eventually Dave and Kathy moved Central Converting to Brainerd, MN, Dave's hometown. In early 2012 Bill Wessel, Dave and Kathy's son, relocated to Brainerd to take over Central Converting and is now the owner.
