Ancra Systems has experienced multiple incarnations over the years, with its origins going back to the 1970s as a subsidiary of the American firm Ancra International LLC to sell products for load restraints handling air freight pallets. By the mid-eighties, Ancra Systems was producing and selling roller conveyors for air freight pallets, and it was during this period that the company took its first steps into loading and unloading systems. This was the beginning of Ancra Systems’ meteoric rise to success. After a series of ownership changes, Ancra Systems became an independent company in 2005, and its focus was firmly on long term growth.
