Almac Conveyor Co. Ltd. is a privately owned Canadian company, established by Al McLaren and Glen Lewis in 1969. Both gentlemen earned their reputation in the conveyor business as former employees of Lamson Conveyor Company, where Mr. McLaren worked as a Plant/Installation Manager and Mr. Lewis as an Engineer Manager.

In the beginning, Almac was located in Scarborough, Ontario (a suburb of Toronto) and the scope of its product lines consisted of portable, gravity, belt and live roller conveyors.

As business prospered in 1974, Almac moved to a larger location, still within Scarborough. Then, in 1989 it was relocated to St. Clair Avenue, Toronto, where it expanded its design team to meet the demand of customized products.

In 1991, Stewart McLaren, Al's son, merged his successful conveyor installation business and became the General Manager. 1994 saw the departure of Glen Lewis, as Al McLaren assumed 100% ownership of Almac.

Stewart assumed the position of President in 1996, as Al began his move into a well-deserved retirement. The same year, unable to expand further at the St. Clair location, Almac was once again relocated to larger premises 30 km north of Toronto, on Engelhard Drive in Aurora. This is where Almac still calls home.

Over the years, Almac has earned a solid reputation for tailoring quality equipment to meet specific client requirements. In time, they became known as the "Unit Handling Specialists", as the organization was involved with the designing, engineering, manufacturing, installing and commissioning of complete systems.

Almac has enjoyed much success since those meager beginnings in 1969, as now they have been supplying equipment to virtually every industry segment. The unwavering dedication to customer satisfaction has allowed Almac to supply equipment throughout North America, the Pacific Rim, Europe and Latin America.

In keeping with the Almac reputation and vision of Quality, Service, Innovation, Value and Partnership, Almac's dedicated team has continued to successfully move Almac forward in its quest to attain even greater milestones.

With over 30 years of respectful business behind them, Almac looks forward to continuing a diversification of product offerings, commitment to R&D, ongoing acquisition of state-of-the-art equipment, seeking out skilled personnel and acquiring their ISO accreditation.
