Automotive & Industrial

For nearly a century, Daifuku has been setting automotive industry standards. Our history is our foundation. Our technology is the future.

In 1919, Jervis B. Webb created the Jervis B. Webb Company (Webb) and designed the Webb Chain Conveyor. This chain conveyor revolutionized Model T Ford assembly plants and contributed to significant industrial progress in North America.

In 2007, Daifuku purchased Webb and officially unified their manufacturing industry expertise. Now, here at Daifuku Automotive America, we have an extensive track record with many of the world’s major automotive companies.

Today, our expertise extends far beyond conveyors and the automotive industry. Daifuku’s equipment is used in pressing, welding, painting, assembly, parts storage, and supply systems worldwide. We specialize in designing solutions that meet our customers' needs, whether it's integrating technologies to create a fully automated system or engineering, manufacturing, and installing the most reliable products on the market.
