Company History and Qualifications

The John King Company was established in Leeds, England in 1926. Early success was achieved in the
manufacture of mechanical handling equipment for the rapid mechanisation of the coal industry. In
these early days conveyor chain was generally of cast link construction. The Company therefore has
unrivalled experience in the production of highest quality cast link chains in ductile irons and steel under
the “Climax Quality Brand”. JOHN KING are undoubtedly the world leaders in this range of conveying
chains.

Although cast link chains remain an important part of the JOHN KING programme, the company
has progressively expanded the product range to encompass chains of other constructions and
manufacturing techniques including Welded steel chains, engineered steel chains, forged fork link chains
and Engineering plastic chains.

Today JOHN KING offer the widest range of conveyor chains of any manufacturer which makes them
unique in being able to offer an infinite number of chain types in a variety of materials and constructions
for a multiplicity of industry mechanical handling applications.

In recent years it has been JOHN KING’s strategy to develop the Company into a global business. This
has seen the establishment, in addition to the main factory in England, distribution Companies in North
and South America, Africa, South East Asia and Central Europe. Our objective is to provide best service
in supply of high quality chain and sprockets Worldwide.

All products are manufactured within the dictates of the Company’s quality management according to
ISO 9000 establishing consistent and high quality products and ensuring performance reliability and
extended service life.
