In 1922, the weather-strip division of Sager Lock Company of North Chicago, Illinois was sold and incorporated as Sager Weatherstrip Company. The nature of the business changed in the early 1950’s to more custom roll forming and metal fabrication. The company name was changed to Sager Metal Strip Company. About this time, Sager began making various products used by conveyor manufacturers. Sager’s manufacturing facility was located at 3649 South Racine Avenue in Chicago.

In 1976, Sager began fabricating conveyor parts for Continental Can Company. After a few years, Sager provided the majority of the components and assembly for Continental, leading Continental to close their conveyor manufacturing facilities. In 1987, Sager moved from Chicago to its current location at 100 Boone Drive in Michigan City, Indiana.

In the early 1990’s, Sager began an effort to increase and diversify its customer base. Today, Sager’s products and services make Sager one of the leading suppliers of conveying equipment to can manufacturers and other customers around the world.
