Celebrating 75 years of Alwayse ball transfer units at IMHX
As the original pioneer of the ball transfer unit since the 1940s, Alwayse Engineering is celebrating 75 years of innovation and development of this versatile product.
Manufacturing the world's largest range, ball transfer units from Alwayse are used in materials handling across a diverse range of industries and applications. From assembly lines and machine tables to subsea and space, Alwayse is constantly pushing boundaries and discovering new and exciting ways that ball transfer units can be used.
Jon Brough, Head of Sales at Alwayse, commented ‘our reputation as innovators in the industry is the result of over 75 years of R&D. This ongoing commitment to product development has been made possible through constant dialogue with customers and gaining a deeper understanding of their requirements.’
