Ball Transfer Systems was founded in September 1987 by Robert L. McKeown. Originally located in Glassport, Pennsylvania, they manufactured omni-directional ball transfers used in material handling. Since then, Ball Transfer Systems has become one of the most comprehensive suppliers in the industry.
At first, Ball Transfer Systems concentrated on quality assembly of parts supplied by outside sources. The entire product line consisted of only two styles. Within a short time, stamping processes were brought in-house, allowing for the flexibility to design and redesign new products to meet customers' most demanding specifications. By further expanding production capabilities, Ball Transfer Systems was able to offer eighteen different styles, including the manufacture of both carbon and stainless steel ball transfers.
By 1992, it became evident that increasingly sophisticated equipment, expanded work stations and an ever growing inventory necessitated expansion into a larger facility. In January of 1993, Ball Transfer Systems entered into a sales agreement to purchase two buildings and eight acres of property in Star Junction (Fayette County), Pennsylvania. By August of that same year, the move was complete. With the new location and expanding product line, business soared and several new employees were hired.
November of 1994 found Ball Transfer Systems in the unique position of being approached by a competitor with the intent of purchasing their equipment, inventory, product lines and customer list. The competitor's name, Ball Transfers Inc., would be dropped so the new products would be identified solely with Ball Transfer Systems. This acquisition resulted in an increase of twenty-six additional units to the product line.
Ball Transfer Systems is proud to offer the highest quality American-made products.
