About Kewesta
Kewesta GmbH, founded in 1971, is a family-run company based in Erlensee that has been planning, manufacturing and assembling conveyor systems and components for in-house material flow for over 50 years. The portfolio includes floor-mounted and overhead conveyor systems with payloads of up to 6 tonnes, drive technology such as roller chains, toothed chains, airmovers and chain sprockets, and, as a long-standing chain manufacturer, the production of hollow-pin bushing chains and solid-pin conveyor chains including matching sprockets. The range of services extends from the planning and simulation of complex systems to delivery and assembly through to full service with maintenance contracts; the company also operates a highly capable toolmaking division. A high level of in-house manufacturing depth ensures fast delivery times, with numerous measurement operations during production monitoring intermediate results. Innovations such as low-maintenance drives and energy-saving chains have resulted in several patents. Kewesta delivers worldwide to companies of different industries and sizes.
