VERTICON® HISTORY
Since 1977

Verticon ® had one of the earliest Vertical Reciprocating Conveyor (VRC) patents dating back to 1980.
When Ron Kennedy toured Skinner Macaroni Company in Omaha, NE as a then I/O Psychologist, he saw a spaghetti factory that was literally a spaghetti factory of dizzying conveyors running all over their production and packaging floor taking up valuable floor space.
His idea was to raise the conveyors overhead and conduct the non-value-added product movement up there, freeing up more floor space to add packaging lines. But how would they raise their boxes from their floor level to the ceiling hung conveyors?
Verticon ® Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors were invented and installed to do just that. More packaging lines were installed in the new open space soon making Skinner Macaroni the most profitable macaroni factory in the world. Shortly thereafter they were purchased by Hershey Pasta.
And the company and trade name Verticon ® was born.
