If downtime cost US food and beverage producers only
1% of revenues in 2002, that would amount to over $5 billion
in losses. Unfortunately, downtime costs the industry even
more. As the power transmission industry provides $750
million in products to food and beverage producers in the
US annually, the conclusion is clear:
It is not what you pay, but the quality,
reliability and uptime you receive,
that is important.
For this reason, many of the nation’s
top food and beverage
producers, as well as their OEM partners, choose the member
companies of the Altra Industrial Motion.
Boston Gear,Warner
Electric, and
Formsprag
Clutch have been
meeting the needs of the food processing and packaging
industry for
a combined 200+ years. And as the food industry has changed,
so
have the solutions we provided to meeting the industry’s
needs.
Boston Gear developed the first industrially acceptable
enclosed
gear box, while Warner
Electric pioneered the electric
clutch/brake,
and every major innovation since.
