Bulk handling equipment and systems manufacturer Flexicon Corp. is commemorating its 50th anniversary in 2024.
Founded by William Gill in 1974, the privately held firm began manufacturing “flexible screw conveyors,” a term coined by the company. Their simplicity, reliability and economy made them popular not only for basic conveying jobs, but also for demanding applications previously satisfied by more complicated and costly conveyors.
“Fifty years ago, my father had the foresight to solve a simple conveying problem,” said CEO David Gill. “Today, our company provides solutions for food, chemical and a range of other industries with everything from standalone equipment to automated plant-wide systems that solve the most difficult bulk handling problems.”
With its headquarters in Bethlehem, Pa., Flexicon now holds 36 patents in 13 countries, operates manufacturing plants in the United States, UK, Australia and South Africa, and maintains sales offices in France, Germany, Spain, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia.
