5GENERAL INFORMATION
HISTORY
Intraco, Inc. was founded December 22, 1971 as an import/export company
for agricultural equipment. During the early years, Intraco, Inc. began
distributing many lines of equipment both in the U.S.A. and many foreign markets.
The intense desire to satisfy the needs of the agriculture industry gave Intraco, Inc. a chance to improve a
sector of the industry that was lacking ef ciency - the feeding system. Intraco, Inc. decided to manufacture and
market its own line of feed conveying equipment with the trade name CABLEVEY.
The rst CABLEVEY system was installed in Ontario, Canada in 1974. Extensive research and marketing of
the CABLEVEY feeding system began later that year, involving shipments to Canada, Australia and England.
Since that time, thousands of CABLEVEY systems have been manufactured and installed in 47 states and 35
foreign countries. The component parts of the CABLEVEY system, totaling over 470, are manufactured and
fabricated by 50 suppliers located throughout the Midwest U.S.A.
Over 300 people are involved in the CABLEVEY systems fabricating and marketing chain, including
manufacture, assembly, packing, crating, shipping, sales, service, of ce and administrative personnel.
Intraco’s percentage of exports to total sales has grown from 25% in 1974 to 50% at the present time.
Intraco, Inc. was presented the President’s “E” Award, a certi cate signed in the name of the President of the
United States by the Secretary of Commerce, at a special ceremony held in conjunction with a World Livestock
& Poultry Seminar in August of 1979.
In 1985, Intraco applied it’s knowledge obtained from agriculture conveying and began to develop products for
the industrial markets. 1990 was the rst installation of the 4” diameter tubular conveyor now being used for a
wide variety of materials and installed in various applications.
A natural progression was the design of the 2” diameter tubular conveyor system for industrial applications.
Representatives of Intraco, Inc. have been involved with trade delegations going to underdeveloped and
emerging countries coordinated by the United States Department of Commerce.
Intraco, Inc. will continue to be a leader in the industrial and agriculture markets with an aggressive approach
to the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of CABLEVEY along with many other products serving the
entire world.
