FMH Conveyors

What FMH Conveyors does

FMH Conveyors is a private North American industrial OEM specializing in loading, unloading, and dock-flow conveyor equipment, operating as part of the Duravant family of engineered-equipment companies. Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Jonesboro, Arkansas, with a regional headquarters in Corby, UK established in 2021, the company manufactures flexible powered and gravity conveyors (BestFlex, NestaFlex), telescopic and rigid drive-out conveyors (MaxxReach, BestReach), modular systems (BestConnect), curved belt conveyors (CBC-120), and the Aftersort line of two-piece telescoping truck loaders acquired in 2021. Its most automated product, LITESORT, is a portable scan-and-sort system with integrated barcode scanning, 24V DC motor-driven diverts, and HMI controls, positioning FMH at the lower end of warehouse sortation.

The company sells almost exclusively through direct enterprise field sales with quote-based pricing, supported by dedicated US and UK sales and service phone lines, plus active participation in flagship industry events such as Pack Expo, MODEX, ProMat, Interpack, and IMHX. Revenue is generated from one-time capital equipment sales, an aftermarket Lifecycle Services program covering parts, installation, maintenance, modernization, and productivity optimization, and a separate spare-parts business. Target verticals span e-commerce and distribution, retail, parcel post, airports, tire handling, wine and spirits, third-party logistics, and manufacturing/packaging, with documented customer outcomes including up to 70% unload-time reduction, $5M in annual distribution-center savings, and personnel-per-lane reductions from 4-5 employees to one.

Leadership comprises President Raman Joshi, VP of Sales Peter Rice, and Director of QHSE Robert Dudley, and the company has earned EcoVadis Gold and North Northamptonshire Sustainability recognition.
