Lee Norris Construction and Grain Company sold and constructed Behlen grain dryers, handling and storage equipment, and buildings from 1965 to 1975. In 1970, the Belt-o-matic dryer was developed for use in the grain processing industry. Founder Lee Norris soon discovered the versatility of the Belt-o-matic and started B.N.W. Industries to manufacturing and sell Belt-o-matic dryers and coolers. Belt-o-matic has expanded into food processing, feed manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and many other custom and specialty products. B.N.W. Industries has manufactured and sold over 550 Belt-o-matic units worldwide.

Other products such as air handling equipment, material handling, stainless steel livestock trailers, and many more custom metal products have been manufactured by B.N.W. Industries. Currently, B.N.W. Industries holds six USA and Canadian patents for drying processes.

In 1995 Indiana Woven Wire LLC (IWW) was started as a division of B.N.W. Industries. IWW manufactures woven wire conveyor belts that are used in the Belt-o-matic as well as heat treating ovens and many other processing and conveying equipment. IWW grew out of the need to easily custom build conveyors upon demand.

B.N.W. Industries mission is to develop personal relationships that help provide technology to improve and simplify manufacturing processes that meet and exceed our customers expectations.
