Components for Material Handling and Distribution Automation
Esco Precision manufactures mechanical components for conveyor systems, warehouse automation, and distribution center equipment, and supplies them two ways: as production components for material handling equipment manufacturers, and as stocked replacement parts for the operators who run that equipment every shift.
Distribution and fulfillment operations depend on conveyors, merges, sorters, automated storage and retrieval systems, shuttles, and robotic picking cells that cannot stop for a missing part. The mechanical content of that equipment, rollers and shafts, side guides and transfer plates, pusher and diverter components, brackets, extruded rails, and polymer wear parts, is where Esco works.
Components are produced to print across machining, stamping, extrusion, injection molding, forging, and EDM, so one supplier can cover a bill of materials rather than a single process. Everything is inspected to the customer specification under an ISO 9001:2015 quality system, with first-article reports and material certifications available for new-equipment programs and maintenance purchasing alike.
Beyond manufacturing, Esco runs the supply side of the relationship: kitted maintenance and spares packages, vendor-managed inventory, scheduled releases against blanket orders, and fulfillment direct to distribution centers, so recurring component demand is handled as a program rather than a series of emergency orders.

OEM production supply
For equipment manufacturers
Material handling equipment manufacturers source production components and mechanical sub-assemblies from Esco under blanket orders with scheduled releases. Tooling and process are scaled to the annual volume of each part, design-for-manufacturability feedback is provided at the quotation stage, and revision control and first-article approval are standard.
OEM SolutionsReplacement parts and MRO
For operators and maintenance
Distribution center maintenance and MRO teams use Esco for replacement rollers, guides, wear parts, and mechanical hardware across mixed equipment fleets, including components for conveyors and automation that are no longer supported by their original manufacturer. Parts are stocked under vendor-managed inventory and shipped to each facility on demand.
Replacement Parts & MROOperational challenges these components address
- Mixed fleets of conveyor and automation equipment from many manufacturers
- Replacement parts quoted in weeks when a line is down today
- Multiple distribution centers each managing their own spares
- Unsupported legacy equipment that still runs core volume
- Procurement cycles that cannot keep pace with continuous-duty wear
Why source from Esco Precision
Esco supplies the mechanical content of material handling equipment, not the equipment itself, which makes it a supplier to equipment builders and operators alike rather than a competitor to either. Multi-process manufacturing, documented quality, and multi-site stocking programs give distribution customers one accountable source for recurring component demand.
Frequently asked questions
Do you make components for conveyor and warehouse automation systems?
Yes. Esco produces rollers, shafts, guides, transfer and wear components, brackets, extruded rails, and mechanical sub-assemblies for conveyors, sorters, automated storage systems, and picking cells, to print or reverse-engineered from a sample.
Can you stock spares and fulfill orders to our distribution centers?
Yes. Esco offers kitted spares packages, vendor-managed inventory, and scheduled releases against blanket orders, with fulfillment direct to each distribution center.
Do you supply equipment manufacturers as well as operators?
Yes. Equipment manufacturers source production components under blanket orders, and operators source replacement parts under stocking programs. The same drawings, process controls, and quality system serve both.
