Screw Conveyor Corporation

What Screw Conveyor Corporation does

Screw Conveyor Corporation is a privately held, family-owned engineering and manufacturer of bulk material handling equipment founded in 1932 and headquartered in Hammond, Indiana. The company designs and builds custom mechanical systems—including screw conveyors, drag conveyors (flat and round bottom), vertical lifts and bucket elevators, and Kewanee-brand truck dumpers—for conveying, feeding, and elevating granular, powdered, and bulk materials in industrial and agricultural environments. End markets span grain handling, feed manufacturing, food processing, construction, and mining.

The company operates four manufacturing facilities—Hammond, Indiana (corporate headquarters); Visalia, California (90,000 sq. ft. with over $1M in carbon and stainless steel inventory); Winona, Mississippi; and Guadalajara, Mexico (operated through wholly-owned subsidiary Screw Conveyor de México, S.A. de C.V., also doing business as Conosca SCC). Products are custom-built to customer specifications in carbon or stainless steel. GTM is sales-led, combining direct field sales with application engineering support (including on-site visits), a regional sales representative network across the Americas, and content-driven technical marketing via a download center of engineering manuals, catalogs, and data sheets. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Revenue mechanics are driven by one-time sales of complete equipment systems and replacement components. The firm is privately held with no institutional or PE backing identified, and operates with 51–100 employees under continued family leadership since founding.
