    Congratulations to Conveyor Handling on their 50th Year Anniversary! Without the hard work, dedication, and commitment of past and current employees, Conveyor Handling could not commemorate this exciting event. It is an honor to celebrate this accomplishment with everyone.

  • CHC 50th Anniversary Event Messages
    I have a clock on my desk in a glass frame, engraved with "CHC 30th Anniversary," from long before I joined the company. I found it tucked away on a parts shelf, likely because the mechanism no longer worked. I remember thinking, "What an achievement—this can’t just sit here," so I restored it. It now serves as a daily reminder of CHC’s history and the legacy we continue to build.

    As we celebrate 50 years, it’s clear this milestone was made possible by sustained effort, innovation, and the dedication of everyone who contributes to our success. I’m proud to be here today—honored to help write this chapter in CHC’s journey. Cheers to the big 50, and thank you to everyone—past, present, and future.

    Congratulations, CHC, on 50 years in business!
     
    One of the things I've truly appreciated over the years is the opportunity to work in so many different places, witnessing firsthand how things are made and moved. While not everything always went according to plan, the positive experiences far outweighed the challenges. This milestone is a testament to the dedication, perseverance, and hard work that define CHC!

  • CHC 50th Anniversary Event Messages
    A few weeks after joining CHC, I heard a popular Indian song playing, and when I stepped into the shop (warehouse), I was surprised to see the guys singing and dancing along. It was such a funny, yet wholesome moment. Looking back, it often brings a smile to my face, offering glimpses into the exceptional work culture fostered at CHC.

    Reflecting on my time at CHC, helping my manager, Brooke, hire service technicians during a time of growth was always exciting — he made sure every tech was fully prepared to represent CHC’s high standards across countless facilities. Being a satellite office meant we had to be resourceful, handling everything from sourcing parts to managing vehicle and building needs. After Brooke moved on, Jim stepped right in, making me feel like a valued part of the team. Guiding the service ‘ship’ with him at the helm and me as part of the crew was definitely a fun and memorable ride.

    Even after the PA brick-and-mortar service office closed, I stayed on for a few more years, supporting the sales team with order entries and parts pricing. I truly enjoyed that chapter — lots of good laughs and great memories with an good group of people. I miss them all.

    Happy 50th Anniversary to CHC! 
    I’m incredibly proud to be part of a company that has built such a strong legacy over the past five decades. CHC is more than just a workplace — it’s a family. The values, the people, and the commitment to excellence are what make this company so special. Here’s to celebrating the past 50 years of success, growth, and impact — and to looking forward to an even brighter future. 

    Cheers to many more! 🎉 
    Brandie Anderson, Accounts Payable Manager
  • CHC 50th Anniversary Event Messages
    A lot of companies like to boast that they are family-owned, but very few actually foster a true family atmosphere in the workplace. CHC far exceeds that standard—not only in its work practices, but also in employee relations, customer service, and even in how it treats former employees and long-time clients. It has been my pleasure to work in such a rewarding and nurturing environment over the past ten plus years. I look forward to continuing to collaborate with our staff in the years ahead. The combined efforts of everyone over the decades stand as a true testament to how we’ve reached this incredible milestone—our 50th anniversary.
    Keith Gmurek, Service Manager, Maryland

A standout moment for me was with a few colleagues after our tradeshow when we went to Geno’s and Pat’s for a Philly cheesesteak showdown. We had a blast comparing which one was the best, and it turned into a fun, lighthearted debate that made for a great end to the day and trip!

In 1985, I was 44 years old with a wife, two kids, a mortgage and no job. The Interlake guy told CHC and the rest is history. Thank you CHC!
