Custom bulk material handling equipment and systems for CPG and contract manufacturing
National Bulk Equipment designs and manufactures integrated systems for dry and liquid bulk material processing—from raw material discharge through finished product packaging. The tech stack reflects a traditional manufacturing operation: CAD/simulation tools (SolidWorks, AutoCAD), industrial control (Allen-Bradley, Siemens PLC), and business systems (Syteline ERP). Active hiring across engineering and manufacturing, paired with projects focused on HMI/PLC programming and factory acceptance tests, signals execution on custom equipment builds. Pain points around marketing/sales performance and data reporting effectiveness suggest the company is working to formalize demand generation and operational visibility.
National Bulk Equipment is a 201–500-person manufacturer headquartered in Holland, Michigan, serving CPG companies, contract packagers, contract manufacturers, and OEMs. The company designs, engineers, manufactures, installs, and commissions equipment and systems for packaging and processing applications—including discharge, filling, conveying, mixing, storage, and reclamation. NBE delivers across the full material handling workflow (upstream raw material systems, midstream conveying and processing, downstream finished product handling) and markets this as an engineer-to-application (ETA) advantage over traditional build-to-order manufacturers. The business is private and operates in the United States.
NBE uses SolidWorks and AutoCAD for design, Siemens and Allen-Bradley controllers for industrial automation, Syteline for ERP, and Domo/Power BI/Tableau for reporting. HMI and PLC programming are active areas of development.
