| The History of Automotion, Inc. |
|
Automotion first opened its doors in 1967 as a distributor of conveyors and conveyor accessories. It did not take long to realize that we could provide far greater service to our customers if we could also control the manufacturing aspects of the conveyor equipment that we were supplying. Automotion understood the value of providing service in every facet from design and production to installation, training and ongoing factory trained technical support. Simply stated, Automotion was providing Value Added Service long before it became a buzz word in the industrial world.

In 1970 Automotion became a manufacturer of Conveyor Equipment. Initially, Automotion focused on the hard goods distribution industry. Over the next ten years we steadily diversified from this market into others including Bulk Mail and Catalog Distribution, Apparel Distribution, Medical & Pharmaceutical Supply Distribution and Liquor & Beverage Distribution. In addition to marketing our product direct to the end user we developed a vast network of distributors to round out our marketing efforts.

| We attribute our success to our ability to listen to the needs of our customers and constantly re-evaluate and improve upon the conveyor products and services we provide in an attempt to satiate these needs. |

| The History of ASG |
In 2003, we sharpened our focus by separating our manufacturing operations from our direct-to-customer marketing efforts. Automotion continues to focus on manufacturing and distributor support while the newly formed Automotion Systems Group (ASG) concentrates on providing fully integrated order fulfillment systems direct to the end user.

| From our humble beginnings in 1967 we have grown to be one of the top conveyor manufacturers and system integrators in the country. We now occupy our third built-to-suit facility in Oak Lawn, IL. Our new facility is over 200,000 square feet and houses our offices, manufacturing facilities, and tech center. We are proud of our track record, our innovative breakthroughs in conveyor technologies and the reputation we have earned serving the needs of our customers.
