Syntron Material Handling is on the move

That glass jar filled with high-grade artisanal honey in your pantry started as little more than a handful of sand. It’s a certainty that sand was carried on a bulk materials conveyor and a fair bet that the conveyance was designed and built by Syntron Material Handling.

They’ve been revolutionizing the way industries move what matters most since 1880, developing innovative conveyor belts and feeders to carry virtually any kind of bulk materials imaginable, from coal to candy, and from potash to potato chips.

Based in Tupelo, Mississippi, today’s Syntron Material Handling is the result of a 2014 union of legacy equipment giants Link-Belt® and Syntron®. The company’s 250 employees bring a wealth of industry knowledge to the cutting-edge creation of high-performance units engineered to meet every material’s handling conveyance need, from light to heavy-duty and everything in between.

Syntron Material Handling’s equipment was used to put the right amount of that food product in those bags. Our ‘Food & Packaging’ product line is what many companies out there use to make that happen,” revealed company president and CEO Andy Blanchard.

Syntron Material Handling serves a host of diverse markets including mining, aggregates, chemicals, food, and packaging, helping producers and processors boost their bottom line through increased bulk material handling productivity.
