Not all the movers and shakers are in Washington, New York or Tokyo. K-Tron International Inc. (Nasdaq:KTII), a mover and shaker in material handling equipment, operates out of Pitman, N.J., near Philadelphia, with branches in such far-off places as Kansas, Georgia, Europe and China. 

Make that mover, shaker and measurer. Chances are the scales that accurately parceled out the two scoops of raisins in this morning’s fruit-filled bowl of breakfast cereal were from a K-Tron subsidiary.

The coal that probably generated the electricity lighting your home or office could have been pulverized by equipment from another K-Tron company. Wood chips needed to make the morning paper could have been processed with machines from another K-Tron unit.

In material-handling equipment, K-Tron is a quiet giant. But Wall Street has yet to get excited about K-Tron — and that’s how the company prefers it. No analysts cover K-Tron, and there are no quarterly conference calls. K-Tron stopped issuing guidance. Its focus is on running its businesses.

K-Tron sprang to life in 1949 as Monsell, a maker of pneumatic scales. It took on its current identity in 1964 and went public in 1980. K-Tron has blossomed during the 10-year leadership of chairman and CEO Edward B. Cloues II. 

K-Tron operates a process group, covering its feeder and pneumatic conveying operations, and size-reduction group, for crushing, screening and other conveying equipment.

“Over the last five years, the company has launched into a growth strategy that includes looking at the appropriate acquisitions in materials handling,” said Ronald Remick, K-Tron’s senior vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer, in an interview with SmallCapInvestor.com. “We follow strict criteria … that they’re profitable, that they have a strong position in their fields, with good management, and that we don’t overpay. We don’t want to buy fixer-uppers.”

Starting in early 2003, K-Tron acquired privately held Pennsylvania Crusher . . .
