Conveyor Handling Company

What Conveyor Handling Company does

Conveyor Handling Company (CHC) is a privately held material handling systems integrator founded in 1975 and headquartered in Elkridge, Maryland. The firm designs, engineers, installs, and services custom turnkey material handling systems for enterprise customers across the Mid-Atlantic region and nationwide, spanning industries including e-commerce, food and grocery distribution, third-party logistics, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, aerospace, beverage, and automotive. Its portfolio centers on conveyor systems, automated storage and retrieval (AS/RS), automated guided vehicles (AGV), robotic palletizing, sortation systems, picking and packing solutions, scanning and vision systems, mezzanines, and a broad range of rack and storage equipment sourced from leading manufacturers such as Hänel, Hytrol, and PFlow.

CHC differentiates through two proprietary control products: CHCCS, a multi-protocol industrial Ethernet remote I/O system, and CDCA, a standalone controller for small-scale conveyor projects, alongside an in-house Warehouse Control System (WCS). The company's technical stack combines these proprietary control layers with integration of best-in-class third-party equipment, supported by an in-house staff of system engineers, controls programmers, and factory-trained service technicians.

Revenue is generated through three streams: hardware sales of material handling equipment from multiple manufacturers, professional services covering design, engineering, project management, and installation, and recurring service and preventative maintenance contracts with 24/7 emergency response. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales led by in-house sales engineers who provide no-cost consultation, layout development, and data analysis. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with revenue concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic region but extending nationwide for installation engagements and some international work.
