When it comes to material handling systems, there’s only one company that can say they changed the face of automobile manufacturing. That’s the Jervis B. Webb Company. In 1919, Jervis B. Webb adapted a rivetless chain conveyor used in the mining business to the rugged needs of the automotive industry. It wasn’t long before Henry Ford got wind of the innovation and installed 30 miles of Webb conveyor systems in his plants around the country – increasing productivity, lowering costs and revolutionizing the way cars and trucks were built.  

 

Today, our automotive team uses that same ingenuity to design the most durable conveyor systems for automotive manufacturers around the world. And when time is money, you need a system that never stops. But our expertise extends beyond conveyors. Working hand in hand with Webb’s Smart Handling Systems, our engineers use our SmartCart automatic guided cart and SmartLoader automatic trailer loading vehicle to create integrated systems that lift, load and move materials, increasing efficiency throughout your entire plant. Our workforce spans the globe, which means we can deliver the best possible product – cost effectively - anywhere in the world.
