They have been in the separation, material handling and inspection equipment business for 75 years.
Posted: February 9, 2017
This year marks 75 years in business for Eriez® Manufacturing Company (Erie, PA). From humble beginnings in 1942, the company has evolved into a world leader in separation technologies, with manufacturing facilities in Australia, Brazil, China, India, Japan, Mexico, South Africa and the United Kingdom, as well as their Erie headquarters. They have sales offices across the United States and some 80 international markets on five continents.
Their separation, material handling and inspection equipment is used throughout process industries, including food, plastics, chemicals, mining, aggregates, metalworking and recycling. The applications and production methods that require this equipment are universal around the world. To celebrate their incredible 75-year milestone, they will release From Pioneer to World Leader, Volume II, an update of a book first published in 1992 to chronicle the events and people that shaped them during their first 50 years in business. This new edition will cover the entire 75-year history through photos and stories about their product breakthroughs, business practices and employee culture. It will be printed later this year.
“Our dedication to constant innovation has enabled us to flourish over the past 75 years,” said Tim Shuttleworth, their president and chief executive officer. “New robotic welders, laser cutting tables, high efficiency manufacturing cells, proprietary automated assembly systems and global lean initiatives across the company have driven cost out of operations, improved quality and enhanced customer satisfaction. By working predominantly in the field, our team has continued to develop new and refined process solutions which lead to industry-changing breakthroughs.”
