About WESTA Fördertechnik
Westa-Fördertechnik Maschinen- und Gerätebau GmbH was founded in 1972 and is a second-generation, owner-managed medium-sized mechanical engineering company based in Göllheim in the Palatinate. The company develops and manufactures conveyor systems and the associated components for the transport of unit loads and bulk materials – from individual conveyors to complete solutions. The product range includes roller conveyor systems, belt conveyors, steel hinged-plate conveyors, lifting stations, shuttles, turning stations, rotary tables, workpiece-carrier transport systems as well as carrier rollers, pulley drums and turned parts according to DIN 15207. On 6,200 m² of production space, WESTA manufactures almost all system components in-house; design is carried out using AutoCAD 2D and Inventor 3D. The systems are used primarily in the automotive supply industry, in foundries, in the recycling industry as well as in logistics and automation, and are delivered worldwide. The range of services includes planning, project engineering, manufacturing, assembly, service and maintenance, including of third-party systems.
