What Wecon Systems does
Wecon Systems is a privately held Canadian material handling systems integrator founded in 1997 and headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario. The company operates as a single-source provider of conveyor systems, automated storage solutions, and warehouse automation equipment for industrial manufacturing, distribution, e-commerce, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, healthcare, and automotive customers primarily across Canada. Wecon designs, fabricates, installs, and services a comprehensive product portfolio that includes proprietary WEROLL MDR (motor-driven roller) conveyors manufactured in-house at its Mississauga facility, distributed Dorner low-profile and sanitary conveyors (1X, 2X, 3X, 7X series), distributed Caljan telescopic conveyors, vertical lift modules (Compact Lift, Compact Twin, Compact Double, PowerColumn), and a full line of accumulation, belt, gravity, flexible, FlexMove, pallet, and sortation conveyors.
The company's go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with inside sales support and an active reseller channel across Eastern Canada and Quebec, complemented by integration partnerships with Fortna, FMH, CASI, Numina Group, MHS, TGW, and others. Wecon is a certified AutoStore integrator authorized to design, deploy, and commission cubic automated storage and retrieval systems, representing a strategic capability extension into robotic micro-fulfillment. Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time equipment sales, professional services (installation and system integration), and recurring maintenance revenue through the WE-Care preventative maintenance program. Wecon also sells refurbished used equipment as a supply-chain alternative.
The company's competitive position is built on 27+ years of operational history, exclusive Canadian distribution rights for premium global brands (Dorner, Caljan), in-house manufacturing enabling customization, multi-vendor ecosystem partnerships, and a growing proprietary product line (WEROLL MDR). The 11-50 employee organization operates from a single Canadian headquarters with manufacturing capabilities, serving enterprise customers across Canada with selected U.S.-based installation projects awarded through American integrator partnerships.
