Material Handling
Moving materials efficiently and cost-effectively may seem straightforward, but achieving this requires specialized equipment that can handle the demands of constant movement and heavy loads. Performance plastics are the key to optimizing your material handling systems.
Designed for strength, durability, and resistance to wear, performance plastics ensure smooth operation in high-traffic environments. From conveyors to pallet systems, our materials reduce friction, improve efficiency, and extend the lifespan of your equipment, all while minimizing maintenance costs. Additionally, they are resistant to corrosion, impact, and harsh chemicals, making them ideal for demanding environments.
With performance plastics in your material handling systems, you can enhance efficiency, boost equipment reliability, and ensure smoother operations overall. Our materials are designed to deliver lasting performance, helping you keep costs under control while optimizing your workflow. Let us provide the solutions you need to keep your material handling systems running at their best.

Did You Know?
Conveyor belts date back to 1795, when they were
made of leather and used for very short distances.
Today, the longest single conveyor belt in the world
is in the phosphate mines of the Western Sahara. It
measures 61 miles in length.
