Automated Conveyor Systems

What Automated Conveyor Systems does

Automated Conveyor Systems, Inc. (ACSI) is a U.S. industrial manufacturer of engineered conveyor systems, founded in 1973 and headquartered in West Memphis, Arkansas. The company designs, fabricates, and paints all products at its single American facility, with no overseas outsourcing. Its product portfolio spans more than 1,000 models and sizes across four mechanical families: gravity conveyors (skatewheel and roller, light through super heavy duty), powered conveyors (slider bed belt conveyors in medium and heavy duty ratings, and 24VDC motorized roller / MDR systems), heavy-duty pallet handling systems (drag chain conveyors with 10,000 lb capacity, chain-driven live roller conveyors, and air- or photo-eye-controlled accumulating pallet conveyors up to 4,000 lbs), and a broad accessory line of transfers, diverters, stops, gates, and supports. Underlying technology is conventional industrial material handling: zero-pressure accumulation via MDR brushless drives, sensor roller and photo-eye zone control, air-clutch drive disengagement, and chain-and-sprocket positive drives for heavy loads.

ACSI sells to six vertical end markets — E-Commerce & Fulfillment, Warehousing & Distribution, Manufacturing & Assembly, Food & Beverage, Automotive & Heavy Industry, and Retail & Parcel Handling — through a two-tier go-to-market: direct phone/quote sales for enterprise and custom-engineered projects, and an authorized distributor network for mid-market and local service coverage. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of both standard catalog models (shipped in 3–5 days under the Zip Ship program, with freight paid by ACSI if the deadline is missed) and custom-engineered solutions priced via quote on net-30 terms. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding history, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no published management team, and no external institutional ownership mentioned in available sources.
