Hapman marks 80th anniversary with facility expansion and new product development

Hapman is marking its 80th anniversary with a series of investments aimed at expanding its capabilities in bulk material handling. The company announced plans to increase its manufacturing footprint by 18,500 square feet, a 35 percent expansion designed to support rising demand and improve operational efficiency.

According to Hapman, the anniversary also coincides with continued product development, including recent introductions such as the CablePro and PosiPro systems. The company is preparing to launch an additional conveyor to further broaden its equipment lineup for powder and bulk solids applications.

Hapman will open a new test lab in 2025 to help customers validate material characteristics and confirm performance under realistic operating conditions. The lab is expected to support companies across industries such as food production, chemical manufacturing, and wastewater treatment.

Vice President of Sales and Engineering Matt Richardson said the company’s legacy is rooted in reliability and long-term customer support. Hapman reports more than 14,000 completed projects and equipment installations in all 50 states and 56 countries, reflecting its role as a global supplier of custom bulk material handling systems.

As it marks eight decades since its founding in Detroit in 1945, Hapman is positioning itself for continued growth through facility expansion, product innovation, and expanded customer testing capabilities.
