Company profile
Rulmeca Corporation, founded in 2003, directly serves equipment manufacturers and end users through a network of independent distributors and local service providers throughout the United States and Latin America. A 100% subsidiary of the Rulmeca Group, Rulmeca Corporation is the link between customers and Rulmeca factories in Europe. Located in Wilmington, North Carolina, a major seaport, Rulmeca Corporation minimizes the time and cost of inbound shipments. Loacted near Interstate 40, the company uses the U.S. Interstate highway system as well as Charlotte International and Raleigh/Durham airports to expedite outbound deliveries, as required. The mission is to enable conveyor system operators and engineers to benefit from the use of Rulmeca Motorized Pulleys in aggregate & sand production, mining & mineral processing, food processing, and logistics/warehouse/manufacturing by providing timely sales, local US assembly and service at a reasonable price. An experienced staff, a 30,000 sq ft facility, modern assembly equipment, a global ERP system, and a substantial component inventory enable Rulmeca Corporation to act quickly to assemble a wide range of Motorized Pulleys to meet “Just-in-Time” delivery requirements for local customers and otherwise quickly service customers in need of quick-ship Motorized Pulleys. In addition, the customized “Consigned Inventory Programs” also enable US customers to minimize lead time while maximizing economies of scale.
Our mission is to enable conveyor system operators and engineers to benefit from the use of Rulmeca Motorized Pulleys in aggregate & sand production, mining & mineral processing, food processing, and logistics/warehouse/manufacturing by providing timely sales, local US assembly, and service at a reasonable price. “Establishing the U.S. corporation enables Rulmeca Group to meet the unique needs of the materials handling market and strategically follows the acquisitions of several conveyor component manufacturing facilities.” – Brian Vrablic, Rulmeca Corporation President.
In 2003, Rulmeca Corporation was founded in Wilmington, North Carolina, to sell and service Rulmeca motorized pulleys in the US bulk material handling market. Initially, all products were made in Germany.
By 2005, Rulmeca Corporation expanded its operations by renting a larger facility, hiring more staff, and starting local assembly and repair services for a limited range of bulk material handling motorized pulleys.
In 2011, Rulmeca Corporation doubled its facility size, increased its inventory, and purchased machinery to start manufacturing some parts locally. This expansion also involved using the Wilmington port for European imports.
Rulmeca Corporation added small motorized pulleys to its locally assembled product portfolio in 2014, extending its services to the unit handling market and the food processing industry.
In 2017, Rulmeca acquired its first CNC lathe and overhead cranes, enabling the local manufacturing of motorized pulley shells for unit handling applications.
The company moved to a larger 1,800 square meter facility in 2018, allowing for increased sales and production staff, more space for locally assembled pulleys, and the establishment of a comprehensive repair department.
The "Horizon Project" was completed in 2023, involving the expansion of the Wilmington plant, increased staffing, additional CNC machinery, and new assembly and testing equipment, including an autoclave. This project reduced production lead times, increased local assembly capacity, and introduced hot rubber lagging vulcanization.
