Cardinal Scale expands with Belt-Way Scales acquisition

Cardinal Scale acquired Belt-Way Scales, a manufacturer of conveyor belt scales based in Rock Falls, Illinois.

Belt-Way has a partner network that spans multiple continents and 34 countries, Cardinal Scale says. Belt-Way has been manufacturing conveyor belt scales since 1992.

According to the company, the acquisition adds a product line to the variety of scales and weighing equipment Cardinal Scale manufactures.

“We are extremely excited about our acquisition of Belt-Way Scales, since it fills a gap in our product offerings and complements our overall weighing systems manufacturing strategy,” says Matthew Stovern, president of Cardinal Scale. “They are known for manufacturing great products and delivering unmatched customer service. They will fit nicely into the Cardinal/Detecto family and help round out our product lines. We look forward to continuing Belt-Way Scales’ long history of manufacturing high-quality conveyor belt scales and production data solutions.”

Belt-Way Scales’ employees, operations and manufacturing will remain in Rock Falls, Illinois, and continue with its own dedicated engineering, technical service and manufacturing departments.
