Southern Systems International, LLC
Since 1968, Southern Systems International, LLC has been engineering, manufacturing, and installing heavy duty, custom conveyor systems as related to unit and bulk handling projects. We serve a diverse customer base that spans many industries including package sortation, automotive, defense, appliance, aero-space, agricultural equipment, steel mills, warehousing, food processing, bulk storage and HVAC manufacturing. Projects at SSI range from small system modifications to multi-million dollar green-field programs. Our conveyors are used in the manufacture and processing of small products, weighing only several ounces, unit loads over 100,000 pounds and most every shape and size in between. Our in-house approach allows us unparalleled flexibility and control over a project’s final outcome. By using our own forces to engineer, fabricate, install and control a project, we eliminate problems associated with sub-contract work such as miscommunications, inferior quality and schedule delays. Approximately 85% of our work is done on a turnkey basis utilizing our own personnel.
