Osborn Load Runners®: A Product Line On The Move

With impressive profit margins and solid, double-digit growth, Osborn’s Load Runners program is a major
contributor to Jason Finishing Group’s success.

Load Runners® is a leading, global brand of precision, heavy-duty, load-handling idler rollers and rails. They
are used in products from process machinery and machine-tool ways to tube mills and billet transfer stations.

The program recently completed a successful relocation of
all manufacturing to Osborn’s existing factory in
Richmond, Indiana.

 “We’ve responded to market demand with this multi-million
dollar investment in the expansion of our Load Runners®
division,” said Jeff Guritza, global business development manager
for Osborn. “The investment in new machines, associates and
processes ultimately reduces our cycle times and simplifies
changeovers; helping better serve our customers by offering a
broader size range with shorter lead times.”
