AboutOCS Overhead Conveyor System Ltd
Moving Your Business
With headquarters in Borås, one of Sweden's and Europe's leading cities for textiles and fashion, OCS has a history dating back to the 1960s as a specialist in internal transport systems for the ready-to-wear industry. However, since 1993, when today's OCS started, the market has broadened considerably with a focus on the automotive, aviation, bicycle and surface treatment industries. Today, we operate on a global market with customers all over the world and a presence in several continents.
The basis of OCS's success is the control over our own production in Sweden, but above all our friction-based patented technology for hanging conveyors. This technology means that we can offer modern industry solutions that are clean and oil-free, ergonomic and quiet, and very flexible for quick changeovers. Furthermore, our long experience has given us a strong position as specialists in lean production, through which we help our customers create the most optimal solution based on their needs.
