OUR HISTORY
Strong Scott Manufacturing Co – 1906
Founded in 1906, Strong-Scott Manufacturing provided continuous thermal, milling, and mixing equipment into a variety of industries. Uniquely positioned in Minneapolis, often affectionately called the “Mill City” thanks to it’s rich heritage in flour and grain milling.
Komarek Greaves – 1908
Founded in 1908, Komarek Greaves specialized in high pressure roll compactaction, designed for densification, granulation, and briquetting.
Rietz Manufacturing – 1933
Originally found in 1933 as Process Machinery Company, and later renamed in 1949, Rietz Manufacturing Co. began by providing Disintegrators to the California produce industry. Growing on their roots, Rietz developed a name synonymous with robust process equipment for the food industry.
Bepex Corporation
Seeing a unique opportunity to combine these complimentary process equipment companies, Berwind Corporation acquired all three brands, introducing Bepex Corporation. These mergers quickly positioned Bepex Corporation as a leader in process design across a variety of industries, able to piece together multiple unit operations all under one roof.
Bepex Corporation Acquired
In 1992 the Bepex Corporation was acquired by Hosokawa Micron Group which held the company until 2004.
Bepex International, LLC Established
A group of senior management personnel active in the day to day operations of the company decided to purchase Bepex back from Hosokawa. The decision was rooted in our desire to pursue continued growth and an enriched process technology offering to better support our customers and their needs. Today Bepex has become a global leader in the development of custom industrial process systems and we believe our continued commitment to helping our customers realize their potential will provide significant opportunities in the future.
