Working with Glide-Line is fast: from quoting to delivery. Each of our conveyors is designed and built with flexible configurability and elegant motion, creating an efficient, hassle-free customer experience. We strive to be the easiest conveyor system manufacturer to work with.

Inspired by pure frustration with available technologies, Glide-Line embarked on a journey to redefine what’s possible with automated conveying and product handling solutions. Over the last decade, we’ve kept our focus on our core principles. These are:

Automotive parts manufacturers have to be creative with their plant layouts to remain productive and profitable. At Glide-Line, we continue to optimize our conveyor designs to maximize Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and let manufacturers increase throughput while reducing product liability concerns.

If you’re in the market for a new conveyor system for your manufacturing facility, we understand that you want direct answers to all your questions and concerns. Choosing between conveyor manufacturers and finding a partner you can depend on to solve your unique challenges is no easy task.

In December of 2021, Kevin Mauger and Jenna Orrock were featured on a Design World Webinar called The Future of Manufacturing: Next Generation Multi-Strand Conveyor Design. In this blog, you can read through the main transcription, what was covered in the webinar, and/or watch clips directly from the webinar.

Kevin Mauger was recently the Robot Industry Podcast's guest. They talked about culture, conveyors, configurators, the Amazon Effect, how to start a company, building a brand and changing your company to an employee owned, purposeful, positive entity.

Creative, custom and configurable conveyor systems are what we do best. When we found ourselves dissatisfied with the market’s current offerings – inflexible designs, as well as long lead times, poor customer service, and rising (and unnecessary) costs – we decided we could do it better. Following our own advice, we set out to create a product and supporting tools that would satisfy customer needs in ways no one else could.

Conveyor flexibility in an automated conveyor application is the ability to adapt an existing standard product as opposed to building and customizing a solution from scratch. Flexible solutions fit multiple needs, take less time to engineer, manufacture and assemble, are less costly, and can often accomplish your goal more efficiently without compromising the design.

The Lift & Locate: the go-to solution for locating during assembly. But what happens when your customer’s process is a little outside the norm? Whether it’s a unique product, process, position, or proportion, Glide-Line’s custom solutions are always available. We provide a number of Lift & Locate conveyor units out of the box, but can customize any of them to your customers’ specifications: product weight and/or size restrictions, space limitations, or nearly anything specific to your customers’ applications. The best part? We can even give you the tools to customize the engineering designs yourself. But we’ll get to that later! First, some examples:

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a manufacturer in possession of a good product, must be in want of the right workpiece pallet conveyor.” Alright, so Austen probably wouldn’t approve of her quote used to describe manufacturing, but it rings true nonetheless. When your client needs a workpiece pallet conveyor manufacturer, they’re looking for the right one for them. The right manufacturer can maximize their assembly manufacturing productivity.
