Kadant Inc.

For more than a century, Kadant has been delivering smart and efficient solutions to process industries.
As a global leader in fiber processing; fluid handling; doctoring, cleaning, and filtration; wood processing systems; and bulk material handling, we design and manufacture products used in industries ranging from paper to plastics and textiles to tires.

Our products may not be as visible as brands you buy at your local store, but you’d be surprised at the range of everyday products our equipment is used to produce and the variety of markets we serve.

With approximately 2,700 employees in 20 countries worldwide, Kadant is a global supplier of high-value, critical components and engineered systems used in process industries worldwide. Our products, technologies, and services play an integral role in enhancing process efficiency, optimizing energy utilization, and maximizing productivity in resource-intensive industries.

While Kadant is a relatively new name, and became a fully independent public company in 2001, many of our businesses have been serving industrial customers for more than 100 years. Our major product brands, many of which are sold under the Kadant name through our subsidiaries, include well-known industry names such as AES, Black Clawson (stock preparation), Carmanah, Goslin, Johnson, Lamort, Link-Belt, Lodding, Nicholson Manufacturing, Noss, PAAL, Syntron, Unaflex, Valon Kone, and Vickery.
