About Royal Apollo Group
Royal Apollo is a Dutch industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1847 that specializes in vertical conveying, baling, and logistic systems. Operating as the Apollo Group, the company is organized into four distinct entities: Vertical Conveying (spiral conveyors and bucket elevators), Baling and Debaling Systems, Logistic Systems (internal transport installations including pallet handling, roller conveyors, and belt conveyors), and Apollo Service, which handles installation and maintenance across all product lines. With over 200 employees, three factories, six service centers, and a presence in 175 countries, Apollo delivers solutions trusted by global brands including Nike, Nestlé, Starbucks, PepsiCo, HelloFresh, Shell, and Ralph Lauren.
Apollo's core strength lies in its vertical conveying technology, particularly its spiral conveyors that transport products at speeds of up to 60 meters per minute while saving valuable floor space. The company's systems are engineered with a modular bolt-based structure that enables easy customization, low installation costs, and the ability to ship components in sections. Products like the Stacked Spiral Conveyor, Monorail Conveyor, and Shoot In and Out Conveyor offer advanced configurations for multi-level warehousing, e-commerce fulfillment, and high-throughput production lines. These systems are designed for 24/7 operation with minimal maintenance thanks to fewer moving parts and low-friction slat technology.
The company maintains a global footprint with international offices and subsidiaries including Ryson International Inc. in the United States, Apollo VTS Asia, Apollo VTS Mexico, Apollo VTS India Private Limited, and Apollo VTS Trading Shanghai. Apollo serves four primary industries: warehousing and logistics, food and beverage, consumer packaged goods, and industrial manufacturing. The company also provides comprehensive after-sales support including preventive inspections, spare parts, and service programs to minimize downtime for its customers.
