Midwestern Industries has a long-standing tradition of servicing the screening industry through innovative and customized screening solutions. Evaluating our customers’ needs and applying the appropriate application has been the recipe for success since founder (the late) Vern Riesbeck started the company in 1953. Mr. Riesbeck, an electrician, formed the company by supplying the aggregate industry with one product – screen heating transformers. Utilizing his background, Mr. Riesbeck used an electrical transformer to apply a low-voltage current to screens to eliminate blinding from wet or damp materials. Today, Midwestern Industries continues to solve blinding by screen heating as well as developing many other innovations widely used in a variety of screening applications. Following his passing in 1995, Mr. Riesbeck’s corporate succession plan allowed Midwestern Industries to continue as 100 percent employee-owned. With a strong commitment to quality and service, as well as a staff of dedicated, knowledgeable employees, Midwestern Industries will continue to fulfill Mr. Riesbeck’s dream of being a leader in the screening industry. Midwestern Industries has been a leader in the screening industry for over 60 years. As a designer and manufacturer of screening and sizing equipment, circular and rectangular vibrating machines, as well as replacement screens and parts, we believe in servicing all your screening needs. As technology advances, Midwestern Industries continues to invest in the future. With product enhancements and equipment upgrades, our goal is to meet – and exceed – all of our customers’ expectations.
