“The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.” -Benjamin Franklin This was the phrase that founder Ray Sullivan would mark on purchase orders to suppliers. We have always placed quality over quantity. Our bulk material handling systems are custom made using quality materials to produce quality systems. In all uses of the phrase, B.I.D. conveys quality.
"A company that doesn't have a history may not have a future." -Unknown Since 1981, B.I.D. has been in the business of designing conveyors. In 1989, our headquarters were constructed, bringing together design and manufacturing to offer our customer the full package. When Ray Sullivan decided on placement of our office, B.I.D. was positioned at the intersection of the Trans Canada Highway and the U.S. Interstate 95. This location provides efficient access to customers throughout North America. Some of our furthest project to date would be Kingston, Jamaica and New Caledonia.
With about 50 employees, including office and manufacturing facility, B.I.D. is able to react very quickly to any changes in the schedule or revisions by customers. This year we celebrate 25 years building solutions - tailor-made to perform reliably in your worst conditions - environmentally and technically.
