History

The founders and management team of Celerity Automation started working together at R. E. Ward Engineering, Inc. For more than thirty years Ward Engineering was a leading innovator and producer of large-scale plant production equipment and manufacturing system for clients such as General Motors, Ford, Boeing, General Electric, Toyota, Daimler Benz, and Siemens. From Paintsville, Kentucky, a small town in the Eastern Highlands, Ward established a distinguished, international reputation for developing high tech equipment and innovative solutions for manufacturing challenges, across many different industries.

Celerity Automation, Inc. is a company with deep roots in Ward Engineering’s inventive problem solving. At its core is a revolutionary new technology, the “direct drive” linear transfer vehicle and the team of engineers who originally designed it. After securing the intellectual properties associated with the technology from Ward Engineering, Celerity was formed with the plan to redesign and repackage this technology for high volume manufacture and introduction into multiple industry markets.
