Whitlock became a respected name in plastics material handling through years of steady, dependable work. The company earned trust by building equipment that kept running long after others wore out. Plant operators valued Whitlock machines because they were practical, easy to maintain, and built for everyday use. From vacuum loaders and resin dryers to complete conveying systems, Whitlock equipment can be found in molding and extrusion plants around the world. Whitlock’s focus on efficiency and plant-wide integration helped shape the way resin is moved, dried, and managed across modern molding and extrusion operations.

The company was later acquired by AEC, a respected name in auxiliary plastics equipment. The acquisition allowed AEC to incorporate Whitlock’s conveying and drying expertise into its broader product line, preserving a legacy of performance and innovation that continues under the AEC brand today.
