What UNEX Manufacturing does

UNEX Manufacturing is a privately-held U.S. manufacturer of dynamic storage solutions headquartered in Lakewood, New Jersey, founded in 1964. The company specializes in engineered-to-order gravity-fed storage systems, including carton flow tracks, modular flow racks, high-density dynamic shelving, and gravity conveyors, designed to improve space utilization and throughput for manufacturing, warehousing, retail, and logistics operations.

The product portfolio spans four core solution categories: carton flow systems (SpanTrack Lane, SpanTrack Wheel Bed, SpanTrack Keg Flow, and Shelf Track); flow racks (FlowCell, Roller Rack); high-density storage (SpeedCell, SpeedCartt, Pick Shelves); and conveyors (gravity conveyors with SW, JRS 1.38 inch roller, and MRS 1.9 inch roller variants, Flex Wheel Series, and Pallet Track). Underlying technology is mechanical rather than software-driven, relying on rollers, wheel beds, and tilted gravity lanes to enable FIFO inventory rotation without motors or power. Product warranties span two to seven years depending on the line. Solutions are configurable through web-based tools (SpanTrack, FlowCell, and SpeedCell Configurators) and tailored per application via direct engineering consultation.

UNEX generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of made-to-order units and components, supplemented by custom engineering services for solution design and installation planning. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company employs a hybrid go-to-market combining a network of material handling distributors (supported by a Distributor Partner Portal with marketing assets and exclusive configurators), direct enterprise sales (web forms and phone), and product-led configurators. Operations run from a single U.S. location with North America as the primary served market, and named enterprise customers include HelloFresh, Cutter & Buck, and Overton's across food/eCommerce fulfillment, apparel, and retail verticals.

Core offering

UNEX Manufacturing designs and manufactures engineered-to-order dynamic storage solutions, including carton flow systems (SpanTrack Lane, Wheel Bed, Keg Flow, Shelf Track), modular flow racks (FlowCell, Roller Rack), high-density storage (SpeedCell dynamic shelving, SpeedCartt picking carts, Pick Shelves), and gravity conveyors with Pallet Track systems. These gravity-fed solutions are designed to drop into existing rack structures or stand alone to maximize warehouse space utilization, support FIFO inventory rotation, and improve order picking and manufacturing efficiency for enterprise customers across manufacturing, distribution, retail, and logistics.

Product overview

UNEX Manufacturing is a storage solutions manufacturer that specializes in engineered-to-order dynamic storage solutions for supply chain optimization. The product portfolio centers on four core solution categories: (1) Carton Flow systems including SpanTrack Lane, SpanTrack Wheel Bed, SpanTrack Keg Flow, and Shelf Track that create gravity-fed storage lanes within existing structures; (2) Flow Racks including FlowCell modular workstations and Roller Rack standalone gravity flow systems for flexible picking and assembly; (3) High-Density Storage including SpeedCell dynamic shelving, SpeedCartt mobile picking carts, and Pick Shelves for maximizing storage capacity; and (4) Conveyors including Gravity Conveyor systems with multiple roller and skatewheel options, Flex Wheel Series, and Pallet Track for material movement. These products serve applications across manufacturing (lineside storage, workstations, kitting), warehousing (order fulfillment, case/each picking), retail (backroom storage), and logistics (loading docks, returns processing). Solutions are configurable via web-based tools (SpanTrack Configurator, FlowCell Configurator, SpeedCell Configurator) and backed by warranties ranging from 2 to 7 years depending on product line.
