ISO 9001 conveyor and industrial oven manufacturer with custom design capabilities
LEWCO manufactures conveyors and industrial ovens for material handling and thermal processing, operating from Sandusky with a 51–200 person team. The stack—SolidWorks, AutoCAD, CNC, Syteline (ERP)—reflects a traditional manufacturing operation, with active hiring across manufacturing, engineering, and sales roles at junior and mid levels. Current project focus on prototype development and vendor coordination, paired with stated cost-reduction pressure, suggests the company is optimizing production workflows rather than pivoting to new product categories.
LEWCO is a US-based manufacturer of conveyors and industrial ovens, founded in 1917 and ISO 9001 certified. The company operates two product lines: conveyors (belt, chain-driven live roller, drag chain, gravity roller, slat, turntable, and specialized pallet/dunnage handling variants) and industrial ovens (batch, conveyor-mounted, field-assembled, drum and tote hot boxes, high-temperature furnaces). The stated competitive advantage is the ability to customize from a library of standard designs at cost-effective pricing. LEWCO positions itself as the only US-based manufacturer offering both conveyor and oven product lines under one roof. Manufacturing operations are located in Sandusky, Ohio.
SolidWorks and AutoCAD for design; CNC for manufacturing control. Micrometer and Photoshop appear in the active toolset for measurement and visualization.
Syteline, a manufacturing ERP platform, is the primary business system in their stack.
