Our parent company, AID Equipment, has a long history in the material handling industry, with a customer base that includes some of the world's largest and most respected companies in the industrial manufacturing and construction industries, retailers, and leaders in the emerging e-business sector.

Craig Harris opened AID Equipment for business in 1978, providing conveyor and other material handling products to industry. Founded on the idea that his company must continually exceed expectations in order to compete in the ever-increasing global economy, Mr. Harris' continued dedication to customer satisfaction, and to maintaining the highest quality in the industry, allowed AID Equipment to grow and expand. Today, AID Equipment has grown beyond its material handling roots to include a logistics and transportation division, A-1 Freight Systems and A-1 Transportation, a financial consulting division that helps individuals start businesses of their own, CST Financial, and a specialized conveyor systems design company CORRUGATE TRANSPORT SYSTEMS.

It is on this broad-based material handling foundation that CTS is able to build its specialized conveyance services.
