US manufacturer of conveyor, material handling, and custom automation systems; a Signode brand since 2022.
Simplimatic Automation is a manufacturer of conveyors, robotic systems, and custom factory automation headquartered in Forest, Virginia, near Lynchburg. A trade profile traces the business to 1965, when it started with beverage-industry conveyors and later moved into packaging and assembly equipment and SMT circuit board handling in the late 1980s. It was acquired by Carnaud Metal Box in the early 1990s and by Crown Cork & Seal in 1995, and Simplimatic Automation was formed in 2000 to take over one of the parent company's divisions.
The company is now a brand of Signode, whose parent business is based in Tampa, Florida; Signode's March 2022 announcement of an expanded automation portfolio included Simplimatic, and its original website now redirects to a Signode brand page. Product lines include tabletop, mat top, edge belt, beverage, and twin-strand conveyors, robotic palletizers and depalletizers, robotic integration including Fanuc robots, autonomous mobile robots, and PCB handling and laser automation systems.
According to the trade profile, electronics was the largest customer segment, followed by medical device assembly and pharmaceuticals, with automotive and bearing manufacturers also served. That profile reported a 60,000-square-foot manufacturing facility, with standard products built in Rustburg, Virginia and robotics and custom automation handled in Forest. Signode currently highlights packaging automation for personal care and food and beverage, and lab automation for pharmaceutical and ophthalmic operations.
