Four generations of materials handling excellence since 1920.
Founded by William J. Powell in 1920 as Powell Pressed Steel in Hubbard, Ohio, Powell Systems Inc. began with a simple but revolutionary concept: steel tote boxes that efficiently moved manufactured materials between work stations. From these humble beginnings, PSI pioneered several unique designs including gravity-feed and drop-bottom containers that set new industry standards. As manufacturing evolved, so did Powell Systems. We expanded beyond containers to develop sophisticated machinery capable of automatically feeding, weighing, and packaging parts with unprecedented precision. Recognizing the growing demands of the food processing industry, we further evolved our capabilities to produce stainless steel net weigh packaging systems specifically engineered for food products. Today, our advanced packaging systems can fill individual bags or boxes up to 55 pounds with remarkable accuracy and speed. For over a century, Powell Systems has remained family-owned and operated, with four generations of manufacturing expertise guiding every innovation. Our commitment to American manufacturing remains unwavering—every piece of equipment is designed, engineered, and fabricated at our facility in Fowler, Indiana. We've built our reputation on delivering materials handling solutions that don't just meet expectations but exceed them, helping businesses across fasteners, automotive, heavy construction, food processing, and industrial sectors achieve greater efficiency, safety, and profitability.
