Kadant Inc. operates through three main business segments: Flow Control, Industrial Processing, and Material Handling. The Flow Control segment provides custom-engineered products and systems for industrial fluid management across sectors like packaging, tissue, food, and energy. The Industrial Processing segment focuses on wood processing equipment and stock-preparation systems used extensively in papermaking and recycling. The Material Handling segment offers conveying and vibratory equipment for bulk material handling applications. Generating approximately half of its revenue outside the United States, Kadant maintains a significant geographic footprint across Europe, Asia, and Canada. The company's competitive position is strengthened by a robust aftermarket parts business, which provides recurring revenue and supports customers' sustainability initiatives by reducing waste and improving yield.
