order for this advanced solution came in 2020 with three more coming in 2021. We will have three systems fully op- erational in 2022 with two more two more already being planned for Q1 2023. The interest in this system has been unprece- dented and for good reason – less space required, greatly enhanced WIP storage capacity, a point-to- point delivery system and lower cost of ownership are the main reasons corrugated box manufacturers are strongly considering this solution over the traditional WIP conveyor solution. “The growth in this product line has been instrumental in driving the growth of our overall business model. All our key departments from Customer Care, Service, Instal- lation, Project Management and Parts grew exponential- ly as well. The expertise we now have in all facets of our business will continue to give our growing customer base the support they have come to expect while choosing to partner with the best suppliers in the industry. The commit- ment from management to grow this company in the right way will pay dividends to our associates for years to come. “Our capability in helping customers design and build Greenfield ‘Super Plants’ also saw a vertical growth trend in 2021 and will continue throughout 2022 and beyond. This year alone we will either have fully commissioned or begin building four new fully automated corrugated box plants from the ground up. Our design process and iFAS automation software has proven to be extremely import- ant components to this trend as more and more custom- ers have embraced how we do things as well embracing our proprietary software that automatically tracks and ac- counts for product as it moves through the plant from cor- rugator to shipping. “iFAS has really been a game changer for us by having the ability to provide our customers with not just the best hardware but the most technologically advanced software as well to run the system in the most seamless and effi- cient way possible. “WSA is so grateful to our growing customer base and the faith they are putting in us in helping them realize their goals in increasing their productivity and profitability. We wish our customers and industry partners a very prosper- ous and safe 2022. “WSA offers the most comprehensive range of material handling equipment for the corrugated industry, including full plant automated conveyor systems, automated prod- uct tracking software, vertical rack storage systems, cen- tralized pallet inserting systems, automatic and semi-auto prefeeders, bundle handling systems, robotic palletizers and much more.” For additional information on our company, products and services visit www.wsa-usa.com or e-mail Doug Van- dergriff at dvandergriff@wsa-usa.com.
