Conveyor Engineering & Manufacturing was established in a small shop outside of Shueyville, Iowa in 1977 by Joe & Donita Cone and Bill Djerf. At this time the company was named Modern Fabricators and focused on making oil bath guards and custom fabrication products.
Now with 4 employees, CEMC moved to a 9000 square-foot facility in Cedar Rapids to accommodate the growing business. With this location being so close to the growing ADM corn milling plant CEMC was able to keep busy and continue its growth throughout the next few years.
Continuing to grow and keep up with demand CEMC had now acquired 10-12 employees and required even more space. Moving just down the street CEMC built a new 22,000 square-foot facility that housed 20,000 square feet of space for manufacturing.
To keep up with business CEMC needed more space so they decided to expand their manufacturing plant – this allowed them to double it in size to 40,000 square-feet.
Thanks to the ethanol boom CEMC obtained a second office building and small manufacturing plant to house the growing staff. While this was not the most efficient way to conduct business they knew it would be a temporary fix while building their next facility.
CEMC built their current building: a brand new 116,000 square-foot state of the art facility to accommodate growing staff and business needs. We designed this building to allow for growth, inventory and ease material handling and shipping.
President Barack Obama visited CEMC to take a tour and talk to the staff. He also presented a speech on the importance of manufacturing companies in the economy.
