When you look around at the raw materials and finished products powering our region, chances are high that they relied on a conveyor system to get where they were going. Conveyor systems act as the invisible backbone for countless global and local industries. Right here in Western Kentucky, Atlas Equipment Services ensures that backbone stays strong. From a local conveyor manufacturing plant to a full-service industrial powerhouse, Atlas Equipment Services serves clients across the Midwest and beyond.
Atlas was founded by Shawn Hoover, who dedicated his career to designing and perfecting bulk material handling equipment. Shawn’s commitment to solving complex industrial challenges led to a major milestone: earning a patent for the industry’s only One Belt, One Drive Telescopic Radial Stacker.

Today, under the leadership of President Logan Hoover, Atlas continues to scale its operations while remaining a family-owned enterprise. The business stays grounded in three core commitments:

Most people never think about conveyor systems, but they are the backbone of countless industries. It’s incredibly rewarding to know our team plays a role in keeping those industries—and the world—moving."
