For over four decades, West River Conveyors has been committed to building top-quality conveyor systems and components at competitive prices. Our journey began in 1981 when Joe Street and Jerry Roulett founded West River Machinery Company to manufacture conveyor systems and rebuild mining equipment.
In the early years, we specialized in rebuilding all types of mining equipment, often incorporating conveyor system components into these rebuilds. Recognizing the demand for new, high-quality conveyor solutions, we expanded into manufacturing brand-new belt drives and conveyor components—a move that set us apart in the industry.
By the mid-1980s, we had expanded into the used parts market, particularly in replacement parts for gearboxes and speed reducers. Over the years, we have built an extensive inventory, including:
As our business grew, we operated from four separate locations—a setup that was no longer sustainable. In 2000, we made a major move, purchasing 50+ acres to consolidate all operations into a single, modern facility.
Two years of renovations later, we moved into a state-of-the-art facility in 2002. This milestone enabled us to:
Today, West River Conveyors spans 125,000+ square feet of manufacturing and warehousing space, with multiple buildings dedicated to production and inventory.
Ownership remains family-driven, with Joe Street, Pete Savage, and Jessica Savage at the helm.
Despite our growth, our mission remains the same:
West River Conveyors is built on a foundation of reliability and customer commitment, and we look forward to helping you find the right conveyor solutions that meet your needs.
