5 Innovative Automated Conveyor Systems Manufacturers

The global conveyor systems market was $5.23 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $7.43 billion by 2027. That’s a compound annual growth rate of 4.6%. While historically the industrial and construction sectors have been the main drivers of conveyor system technology, the past few years have seen new demand in e-commerce, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals.

Our bundled cable has an array of applications in the wiring for automated conveyor belt systems. Below we’ve highlighted 5 U.S. companies that are leading the charge in the manufacturing of automated conveyor belt systems.
