About Us.

Itoh Denki Co. Ltd,  was founded in 1946, starting out as a small shop repairing conventional motors and soldering tools. From these humble roots, we expanded into the design and sale of our own electric motors.

In 1975, we developed the motorized the motor driven roller (MDR) for conveyor systems. These AC powered rollers was the first of its kind. Unlike traditional rollers that are powered by large electric motors, our AC rollers consisted of a standard conveyor roller tube with our own electric motor and gear set inside, providing a safe and energy efficient alternative for our customers. Throughout the years we have continued to refine and expand our AC product offerings. 

 Stemming off the success of our AC product line, in 1988 we developed the first 24V brushless DC powered roller; the Power Moller 24®. These rollers provided our customers with an even more powerful option to convey their products. When paired with photo eyes, the Power Moller 24® became a run-on-demand power house that was safer, quieter, and even more energy efficient because they only operate when needed (Run-On-Demand). 

In 1996,  Itoh Denki USA Inc., was founded to meet the growing demands of the MDR market in the United States. Corporate offices and a manufacturing facility were established in Wilkes-Barre, PA, helping spread the use of motorized rollers throughout country. Today, Itoh Denki USA Inc. has the largest installed base for motor manufacturing in the United States. 

 At Itoh Denki, we pride ourselves on producing high quality products for our customers. This is why every Itoh Denki roller is tested before it leaves our facility- no exceptions.  Every roller is custom made per our customers specifications to meet the needs of their applications.   We offer a variety of different options,  including units designed for low-temp and wash down applications, as well as units used for pallet handling.
