Central Conveyor Co., Ltd.

Central Conveyor Co., Ltd. (セントラルコンベヤー株式会社) is a Japanese manufacturer of conveyors and material-handling equipment headquartered in Kōta, Nukata District, Aichi Prefecture. The company designs, manufactures, sells, installs, wires, maintains and services a broad range of logistics and conveying equipment, with conveyors at the core of its business. Its product families span free-roller conveyors (steel, stainless-steel, aluminium and resin rollers), gravity wheel conveyors, conveyor stands and options, lift units, conveyor parts, and driven conveyor series classified by load — light, medium and heavy duty. Beyond individual components, it supplies system products such as the Accumuflex Yo-Yo accumulation system, AMR+ conveyor series, sorting systems and vertical conveyors, and it publishes design-and-production examples including right-angle transfer units, two-tier conveyors and plastic modular chain conveyors. The company was established in March 1961 with capital of 50 million yen as a joint venture between Takuma Co., Ltd. and Sanryusha Co., Ltd., and was incorporated in June 1961.

The company obtained ISO 9001 certification in 2001 and has continued to launch products such as the belt-driven roller conveyor e-veyor in 2010 and Ribveyor in 2020.
