What Conveyor Units does

Conveyor Units Limited is a UK-based, privately held industrial manufacturer of conveyor systems and rollers, founded in 1963 and headquartered in Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire. Operating from over 200,000 square feet across two manufacturing sites in Lye and Stourport-on-Severn, the company self-describes as the UK's largest manufacturer of conveyors and conveyor rollers, producing more than one million rollers and over 30 kilometres of conveyors per year, with approximately one-third of output built for export.

The company's core product platform is built around modular, configurable conveyor architectures. Its flagship technology is the Lineshaft Powered Roller Conveyor (available in XU30 light, XU60 medium, and XU90 heavy variants), in which a single motor drives multiple ancillary modules via couplings and universal joints, reducing motor count, installation time, and power consumption. The 24V DC powered conveyor system pairs brushless gearless motors with the proprietary Zone*Logix*PRO control platform (also referenced as UNIDRIVE/Zone*Logix*PRO), enabling sensor-controlled zero line pressure accumulation, remotely programmable control boards with six smart inputs/outputs per card, and scaling up to 255 zones per branch with Ethernet IP connectivity. Supporting products include belt conveyors, belt-under-roller conveyors, pallet conveyors rated to 1,500 kg per pallet, post and parcel systems rated to 4,200 products per hour, gravity conveyors, motorised rollers, the Flexi Conveyors range, and a complete OEM spares and accessories program. All manufacturing is certified to BS EN ISO 9001:2015, with additional FEM and AMHSA registrations.

The business model is hardware sales (conveyor systems, rollers, spares) priced on a quote basis for custom configurations, with multi-year service contracts available. Go-to-market combines direct sales (website, phone, email) to enterprise end customers, a system integrator and project manager channel for turnkey solutions, and export distribution. Customer segments are vertically organised — E-Fulfilment/Retail, Post and Parcel Distribution, Manufacturing and Finished Goods, and Warehouse and Distribution — plus a secondary channel segment of OEMs and engineering system integrators. The company is privately owned with no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or material M&A activity in the input data.
