Robson Handling Technology Limited is the new name for the modern, progressive, long-established Sheffield business, Geo Robson & Co (Conveyors) Limited.

Providing end-to-end handling solution capabilities, the change of name reinforces the message that the company is much more than a conveyor manufacturer.

It's exciting times, and we look forward to shared successes. Complementing the Robson group, which includes RJD Engineering, Robson Site Services Ltd has been established to provide dedicated proactive on-site service and maintenance support for the long-term stability and increased longevity of products, systems and technologies. These positive changes come amid news that Robson secured orders in the first half of the year in excess of £10m, and with the Brexit vote to leave the EU, as a British based company Robson products and services have become even more attractive and competitive on the world market.
