History

The White Machine Company was established in 1946 as an accessory manufacturer for the dry cleaning and garment industries. The small two-family business grew slowly until the development of the garment storage conveyor in 1949. Since then, the company's growth has been both dramatic and consistent. By 1967, White's product line had evolved to meet the growing needs of customers outside the dry cleaning industry-resulting in management's later decision in 1975 to separate the company's increasingly diverse operations.

From the company's original and modest 5,000 square foot facility in Newark, White subsidiaries grew to occupy nearly 42,500 square feet of manufacturing and office space in Kenilworth, New Jersey. To dedicate certain engineering, manufacturing and human resources to garment related applications, White Machine established White Conveyors, Inc. in 1984. Business volume increased, tax laws changed and two of the company's original principals retired. In 1986, the Speckhart family took over the basic automated garment conveyor manufacturing and service portion of the business.

In the Fall of 2004, White Conveyors completed expanded facilities that encompass a total of 90,000 square feet. The architect's objectives in laying out the space was to create a working environment that would enhance the Company's ability to service customers as well as improve internal communication and general workflow. The facilities were upgraded so that White Systems Specialists could provide customers with real-time customer support even as the functions and complexities of automated systems continue to evolve. We know the cost of downtime and make every effort to assure our customers' productivity is maximized.
