Fitter and Turner

About the Business

Since 1942, Eriez has been more than a company—it’s a catalyst for innovation. Our journey began in the heart of Erie, Pennsylvania, but our impact reverberates across six continents, with our office in Welshpool, WA. It’s not just the cutting-edge tech; it’s the Eriez spirit. Here’s why we’re not your average separation technology powerhouse:

• Magnetic Magic: Our magnetic separation tech isn’t just science; it’s sorcery. We make metals dance, particles align, and impurities vanish
• Metal Detectives: Forget Sherlock Holmes; meet our metal detectives. They sniff out hidden treasures in conveyor belts, recycling streams, and mining pits. CSI: Scrapyard Edition
• Material Maestros: Handling materials isn’t a chore; it’s an art form
