Crisp Industries puts its success down to its longstanding philosophy of
offering top quality products and solutions
From the company’s humble beginnings with one welding truck
over 30 years ago, Crisp Industries has grown into a one-stop
shop for the aggregate industry, offering complete material
handling systems including conveyors, plants, bins, feed
hoppers, and steel fabrication. Crisp also specialises in large
turnkey projects, managing the design and construction of new
aggregate facilities.
Based in Bridgeport, Texas, Crisp Industries has designed,
fabricated, and erected a multitude of aggregate plants across
the USA. President John Crisp believes his company has been
successful because of his longstanding philosophy of offering
top quality: “We are not in the business to build the cheapest
plant. I know I could find ways to lower the price, like installing
less expensive, lower quality products, but then what do you
have at the end of the day? So I might be a little higher, but the
plant I build will still be running in 30 years.”
Crisp Industries values the pre-engineered packaged solutions from

bearing come pre-assembled and ready to mount.
that he’s not interested in just making a one-time-sale and then
walking away. “I want products that will perform and last long that I choose Baldor, Dodge and Reliance brand motor and
after the warranty period is over, and that’s the honest reason power transmission products from Baldor Electric. Based on
my experience I know that these products are the most
durable and reliable.”
When it came time for Crisp Industries to design and build a
new plant for Capitol Aggregates, there was no question which
mechanical and motor products would be used. Throughout
more than three miles of conveyors in the Marble Falls, Texas,
facility ared Dodge TAF and Type E bearings, Dodge take-up
frames, Dodge MDX pulleys, Dodge Torque-Arm II reducers,
Dodge belts, and Baldor-Reliance motors.
As much as John Crisp is sold on selecting products from
Baldor, he’s an even bigger believer is using the services
provided by Baldor’s System-1 team. System-1 offers pre-
engineered packaged solutions that help simplify the design,
quotation and order processing of multiple mechanical and
electrical products, while ensuring that all the components are
properly matched.
Crisp views the System-1 team as an extension of his
company, working alongside Crisp Industries employees to get a
project done right. “To me this is the biggest selling point for
System- 1, a dedicated team working to make sure that we get
the right products packaged the right way, delivered to us at the
job site when we need them,” says Crisp. “All the crew in the
field has to do is take one pre-assembled system off a pallet, bolt
it on the conveyor and it’s done. It’s a huge time savings for us.”
Mike Parsons, Crisp Industries project estimator/hardware
specialist, says System-1 also saves them time on the front end
of the project. “Because the System-1 team has a depth of
knowledge on motor and mechanical products used on
conveyor systems, they save us a lot of engineering time,” says
Parsons. “I don’t have to go through and choose every product
