Lorenz

What Lorenz does

Lorenz Conveying Products Corp. is a Canadian-headquartered, privately held manufacturer of pneumatic conveying components, founded in 1979 and operating for over 46 years from its headquarters at 75 White Street, Cobourg, Ontario. The company's product portfolio spans diverter valves (Series D 2/3/4-way, Series P Slideflex, Series L Sealed Gravity), slide gates (Series E in multiple mounting patterns), maintenance gates, roller gates, discharge and iris valves, couplings (standard, heavy-duty, bolted), tube and pipe bends, cyclones (high and normal efficiency), ceramic-lined elbows (Ceram Back, ceramic lining with MoHs 8-10 hardness, ceramic fused at 1560°F), Flo Lining hammer-hardened tubes, angel hair traps for plastic conveying, and a broad options/accessories catalog (solenoids, actuators, terminal boxes, high-temperature and polar-environment modifications). Notable proprietary technologies include the patented one-piece Lorenz Clamp, patented heavy-duty coupling, Positive Blade Lock, Active Compression Seals, and the Ceram Back Elbow with approximately 1/2 inch of MoHs 9+ ceramic compound — all tied to the central value proposition of wear-life extension in abrasive, high-cycle conveying environments.

The company's business model is a direct B2B industrial equipment sale model: quote-based pricing on standardized and custom-configured hardware, sold through a direct field sales team with regional representatives and an inside sales function, supplemented by on-site and virtual product demonstrations, no e-commerce or retail channel, and ecosystem access via industry associations (PEMA, SPI, GEAPS, CEMA, IAOM) and trade publication partnerships. Manufacturing is conducted at three North American facilities — Cobourg, Ontario (headquarters), Michigan, and Normal, Illinois — supplying a customer base diversified across six primary verticals: food and pet food processing, plastics and packaging, grain handling, flour and grain milling, chemicals, and aggregates/minerals. Named enterprise customers include ADM, JSP International, Graham Packaging, Mitten Vinyl, Sioux Chief, Black Velvet Distilling, Pneuveyor Systems, Hapman, PRAB, Contemar Silo Systems, Standley Batch Systems, and Automated Ingredient Systems. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified and operates as part of the Conveying Components Group (CCG) parent, alongside affiliated entities Lorenz Holdings LLC, Lorenz Conveying Products USA LLC, JLC Acquisition LLC, and JL Components.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed and there are no external funding events, M&A activity, or leadership changes in the available record. Customer evidence consistently emphasizes long service life (7-10+ years, 7 million+ documented cycles on a single valve), responsive quote-to-delivery cycles, and customization responsiveness, supporting a stable, replacement- and specification-driven revenue stream. A new website was launched in January 2025 and a Syntron-branded iris valve distribution agreement was added to the product line, marking the most visible recent commercial modernization under a continuity-oriented, founder/private ownership posture.
