Conveyor Concepts, a new addition to Caster Concepts lineup
ALBION, Mich. (May 1, 2012) – Caster Concepts, Inc., manufacturer of heavy-duty industrial casters and wheels, is pleased announce today the addition of Conveyor Concepts to its family of businesses. Conveyor Concepts manufactures specialized components for the conveyor industry, including conveyor rollers, drive assemblies, polyurethane wheels and many other related products.
Custom Manufacturing Experience
Built on Caster Concepts’ custom manufacturing experience, Conveyor Concepts provides conveyor manufacturers and OEM designers with quality subassemblies with short lead times.
“I am very excited about this new product group,” said President and CEO Dr. William Dobbins. “If you understand the core competencies of this unique business you will understand our move. We have 25 years of expertise in polyurethane, precision machining, fabrication and engineering – all working together to produce a product or solve a problem.”
