Established in 1942, Eriez is a global leader in separation technologies. The company was founded by O.F. Merwin, a traveling grain milling equipment salesman who developed the first permanent magnetic plate separator prototype in his Erie, Pennsylvania home to protect grain millers from ferrous contamination. Through Bob and Betty Merwin’s strategic expansions and Richard Merwin’s continued leadership as Chairman of the Board, Eriez expanded into a global enterprise.
Eriez designs, manufactures, and markets magnetic separation, flotation, metal detection, X-ray inspection, and material handling equipment through 12 wholly owned subsidiaries around the globe. The company’s commitment to innovation has positioned it as a driving market force in several key technology areas. With 1,000+ employees globally and operations across six continents, Eriez serves mining, food processing, recycling, packaging, aggregate, metalworking, and other processing industries. The company operates 50,000+ square meters of manufacturing space and maintains a network of 300+ factory-trained sales engineers globally and 90+ manufacturer representative companies.
Eriez operates a mineral laboratory facility in Erie, Pennsylvania dedicated to advancing mineral processing technologies. The Central Test Lab provides testing and analytical services for mineral processing applications across copper, iron ore, phosphate, potash, rare earth elements, heavy mineral sands, silica, polymetallic minerals, bauxite, nickel, calcite, gold, lithium, oil sands, coal, graphite, silver, and feldspar. The laboratory is equipped with crushers, grinding mills, screens, scrubbers, benchtop flotation cells, coarse and fine flotation cells, and magnetic separation equipment for simulating and testing complex plant circuits. The lab occupies more than 15,000 square feet of dedicated laboratory space.
Eriez provides service and repair support through fully staffed service centers equipped with machining, fabricating, and welding capabilities to rebuild all Eriez equipment. The company offers OEM parts, on-site field service, equipment remanufacturing, and full as-new warranties. Eriez also operates a Recycling Test Center in its Wager Road plant in Erie, Pennsylvania, offering full-scale laboratory testing on recycling equipment for materials such as zorba, twitch, zebra, zurik, mixed shredded metals, ASR fines, wire choppings, PET plastic flake, and other recycling streams.
