About Us

Advance Automated Systems Ltd is a UK manufacturer of conveyors, conveyor systems and automated materials handling equipment. From simple conveyor units to full turnkey materials handling systems, we provide a fully integrated single source for the design, manufacture, testing and installation of conveyors, conveyor systems and controls – entirely in-house, from the first engineering drawing to final commissioning on site.

One Team, One Roof, One Point of Accountability

Unlike many suppliers in our market, every element of an Advance project is completed entirely in-house by our own team. The same engineers who design your system build it, test it, and install it – so if something needs changing, we change it directly and immediately, with no subcontractors or external design offices to wait on.

That means faster decisions, lower risk, and long-term support from the people who actually built your equipment – not a third-party support desk.
