About ANVER
About ANVER
ANVER Corporation was founded in 1968 by Anton Vernooy, a Dutch immigrant who built the company's name from a blend of his own name. What began as a custom builder of mechanical, self-powered vacuum lifters grew into one of the most recognized names in vacuum-based material handling.
Today ANVER manufactures the full spectrum of vacuum products, from miniature vacuum cups used on packaging lines to complete mill-duty vacuum lifting systems for moving sheet steel, glass, stone, and other non-porous loads. Electric, mechanical, air-powered, and battery-powered lifters are all part of the current line, engineered and manufactured in the United States and sold worldwide.
ANVER remains a three-generation, family-owned company, now led by Franck Vernooy, operating out of Hudson, Massachusetts. Buyers moving sheet goods, panels, or awkward non-porous loads can use ChatMRO to match the right vacuum cup size or lifter capacity to their specific application.

Frequently asked questions
What types of vacuum lifters does ANVER make?
ANVER offers electric, mechanical, air-powered, and battery-powered vacuum lifters, ranging from small single-cup units to complete mill-duty systems. The right choice depends on load weight, material porosity, and how often the lifter will cycle through a shift.
Can ANVER vacuum lifters handle porous or textured materials?
ANVER's product line is built primarily around non-porous loads such as sheet steel, glass, stone, and smooth panel goods. For textured or semi-porous surfaces, buyers should specify the material on their RFQ so the right cup type and seal design can be matched.
Does ANVER make smaller vacuum cups for packaging and robotics?
Yes, the company's catalog spans down to miniature vacuum cups used in packaging lines, robotics, and light-duty pick-and-place work, not just heavy mill-duty lifters. This range came from decades of expanding beyond the original mechanical lifter business.
Where are ANVER products manufactured?
ANVER designs and builds its vacuum lifting equipment in Hudson, Massachusetts, and ships it worldwide. The company has remained family-owned across three generations since its 1968 founding.
How do I get a quote for an ANVER vacuum lifter on ChatMRO?
Describe the load material, weight, and dimensions in the RFQ form and a sourcing specialist will match it to the right ANVER model. Including cycle frequency and power source preference (electric, air, or battery) speeds up the match.
