Norpak has provided great conveyor solutions for three decades

Norpak Handling will celebrate its 30th anniversary in April.

Today, Norpak Handling has a reputation as Canada’s top provider of industrial conveyors, related equipment, and turnkey systems for several industries, including manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, and postal services. Its success has resulted from a combination of high-quality products, dedicated customer service, and industry expertise and knowledge.

That expertise has been with the company right from the start. Norpak’s founders brought it with them when they left a major conveyor company and struck out on their own nearly 30 years ago.

In the beginning

It was in April 1988 when Stewart Raynor, a conveyor professional with ample experience, first established Norpak. He soon joined forces with fellow conveyor experts Gamey Lycett and Gavin Linn, and not long after that, the new company had already amassed more than a century’s worth of collective conveyor experience.

As Norpak grew, it became one of Canada’s largest distributors of conveyor components and systems, as well as the only Canadian conveyor company with offices across the nation. By 1997, the company had expanded so much that it needed a bigger facility; this led it to construct its manufacturing headquarters in Port Hope, Ont. The facility expanded the following year.

The year 2000 saw the acquisition of the conveyor division of B.C. Conveying Machinery Limited in Delta, B.C., boosting the Norpak name on the west coast. That same year, the organization became an Integration Partner with Hytrol Conveyor Company, which gave Norpak access to the U.S. manufacturer’s unique innovations and technologies. The company raised its profile even further in 2010, when it purchased McKessock Engineering.

As the company approaches its 30th anniversary, it remains Canada’s best choice for conveyor products and solutions. With distributor partners in Montreal, Calgary, Halifax, and Windsor, Ont., Norpak now boasts such distinguished clients as Canada Post, FedEx, General Motors, PepsiCo Foods, and the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. These organizations know they can rely on Norpak’s expertise, flexibility, and customer-focused approach to get the best products available, ranging from rollers, conveyor sections, and other spare parts to fully designed and installed systems. Three decades of success ensure world-class service.
