Jorgensen Conveyor and Filtration Solutions Celebrates 75 Years of Innovation and Growth!

Jorgensen Conveyor and Filtration Solutions, a leading provider of conveyor, filtration, and chip processing systems, is celebrating a remarkable milestone—its 75th anniversary. Founded in 1950 by Charles T. Jorgensen, the company initially specialized in overhead conveyors before quickly pivoting to metal belt conveyors to meet the growing demand from machine tool builders. This strategic shift established Jorgensen as a key supplier in the machine tool industry, and since then, the company has evolved into a major player in industrial automation and fluid management solutions.

Over the years, Jorgensen has remained at the forefront of technological advancements, continuously improving its products and solutions. The company has introduced several cutting-edge technologies designed to meet the needs of modern manufacturing. These innovations have made significant contributions to improving machining efficiency, reducing environmental impact, and enhancing overall productivity in a variety of industries.

Some of the standout products and technologies introduced by Jorgensen include:

• EcoFilter Filtration Conveyor – A system designed to enhance coolant filtration efficiency, helping businesses maintain clean and effective coolant systems for their machining processes.
• MunchMan Dual-Belt Conveyor – A high-performance conveyor optimized for handling high volumes of chips, ensuring smooth and efficient chip removal from production areas.
• FlexFiltration with PermaClean – An advanced coolant recycling system that supports sustainable manufacturing by enabling coolant reuse and reclamation, reducing waste and cutting costs.

By integrating filtration with chip processing, Jorgensen’s systems significantly reduce the need for manual labor, improve machining efficiency, and help manufacturers increase profitability through effective coolant management and reuse.

In addition to product innovation, Jorgensen has been committed to expanding its presence both domestically and globally. To support growing demand, the company has strengthened its North American footprint and formed strategic global partnerships. This expansion has helped Jorgensen maintain its leadership position in the conveyor and filtration industry.

A significant milestone in the company’s history occurred in 2024, when Jorgensen became 100% employee-owned through the Innovance ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). This shift not only reflects Jorgensen’s commitment to its employees but also strengthens its foundation for long-term growth. The company’s partnership with well-known brands like ALMCO, Lou-Rich, Mass Finishing Inc., and Panels Plus further bolstered its capabilities and market reach.

As it celebrates its 75th anniversary, Jorgensen is focusing on the future with ongoing investments in production efficiency, employee development, and new product lines. The company is dedicated to delivering best-in-class conveyor and filtration solutions for decades to come, ensuring that its customers continue to benefit from innovative, high-quality products designed to optimize manufacturing processes and drive sustainable growth.

“We are proud of our 75-year legacy and excited for the future,” said Karl Kleppek, President of Jorgensen Conveyor and Filtration Solutions. “With our continued commitment to product innovation and customer success, we are poised for even greater achievements in the years ahead.”

Jorgensen’s 75-year celebration underscores its continued dedication to transforming the industrial landscape with cutting-edge technology, sustainable practices, and a strong, employee-driven culture of excellence. As the company moves into its next chapter, it is clear that Jorgensen will continue to play a vital role in shaping the future of industrial manufacturing.
