Our Story

1906

Strong Scott Manufacturing

Our history goes all the way back to the late 1800s with the Strong Scott Manufacturing company.

We stopped operating under that name in 1967, but the original Strong Scott building is still standing next door to us. Strong Scott provided thermal, milling, and milling equipment to several different industries. Instead of a processing equipment facility, it’s now a distillery. We often visit to pursue a deep understanding of our company’s roots, and while there, we may end up sampling some of the product.

1908

Komarek Greaves

In the early 1900s Komarek Greaves was started by Gustav Komarek.

This brand created patents and specialized in taking lumps of coal and turning them into briquettes that produced less dust and travelled better. This involved equipment designed for densification, granulation, and, unsurprisingly, briquetting. Komarek Greaves is still around today, but stands as a separate company from Bepex.

1933

Rietz Manufacturing

Some may also know us from the “Rietz Manufacturing Company”.

Rietz was founded in 1933 and originally named “Process Machinery Company” then renamed in 1949 (good choice). Rietz specialized in processing equipment for the food industry. They were known for the disintegrators that they provided to the California produce industry. Rietz the company is no longer around, but plenty of Rietz equipment is.

1975

Bepex

In 1975, Berwind merged all three of these brands to create Bepex.

Bepex became a company that has the capability to process pretty much any type of material. Now, customers come to us when they need to process a material and no one else knows how to get it done. That unique ability comes from our deep history and breadth of experience and equipment.

That’s what makes us the material transformation people. We’re able to take any material, from lithium to cottage cheese, and take it to the end-result you’re after.
