Bulk Material Handling Systems Manufacturer

Like many great companies, Erie Technical Systems Inc. began in a small garage by a young, ambitious engineer and entrepreneur who was ready to chart his own path. Rick Sienerth, founder and CEO, came from a job as a product manager at a major dry solids handling company where he obtained multiple patents for FIBC filling machines and processes. Seeing an opportunity to provide companies with solutions, he began to develop bulk filling equipment with his then start-up company in 2001. Rick aimed to create jobs in his hometown of Erie, PA while developing new and innovative equipment.

In 2005, Rick partnered with Tim Porco, a chemical engineer from Case Western Reserve, who was employed at one of the largest companies in the world. Tim's process knowledge was instrumental in expanding the company's product lines. His expertise in automation and controls has allowed Erie Technical Systems to become a world leader in materials handling equipment and systems.
