About Continental Global Material Handling
About Continental Global Material Handling
Continental Global Material Handling was founded in 1959 and is headquartered in Winfield, Alabama, building a long history as a manufacturer of material handling conveyor systems and components. The company's product range includes rollers, pulleys, stylars, idlers, and transfer systems serving multiple industrial end markets that rely on bulk material conveying.
Continental Global's components are engineered to handle the demanding loads and continuous duty cycles found in mining, aggregate, power generation, and industrial processing operations. The company's long operating history has made its conveyor hardware a standard reference point for maintenance teams replacing worn rollers or idlers on existing conveyor lines.
In June 2024, Precision Pulley & Idler (PPI) agreed to acquire Continental Global Material Handling, which had been a portfolio company of Stellex Capital Management, bringing the brand into a larger conveyor components group. On ChatMRO, maintenance and procurement teams can search by belt width, idler type, or load rating to find the right conveyor component.
