The SBA provided Conveyor Metal Works with the capital to purchase the equipment required to help manufacture its products. The company, started in 2000 by Scott Wolfe, makes a full line of gravity roller conveyors, powered roller conveyors, and powered belt conveyors.

With SBA assistance, the company has expanded its product offering and has established a steady growth pattern. Conveyor Metal Works employs 20 people.

Wolfe said anyone thinking about starting a business should, "Always plan for the worst" and look at tomorrow instead of today".
