Ben and Chris York, brothers and material handling veterans, announce the formation of Slate River Systems, Inc. (SRSI), a national material handling systems integration company. The York brothers combine decades of experience in warehousing system design, automation and implementation to form their new venture.

“The SRSI team is driven by our Excellence in Execution mission which we guarantee on every project, large or small,” explained Ben York. “This strategy is built on the best-practice principles of clarity, trust, accountability, transparency and engagement. These principles ensure we get the job done to the highest level of customer satisfaction, which is the only level that is acceptable to us,” adds Ben.
Chris York, Co-Founder SRSI, brings 20+ years of warehouse solutions design and integration to the SRSI team. Mr. York has extensive experience with warehouse storage rack systems, mezzanine configurations, conveyor systems, pick modules and ergonomic devices.
“In my career, I have been fortunate to work with and for some of the leading companies in the material handling industry. Now it’s time to put my 20 years’ experience alongside my brother’s and build a great integration company dedicated to outstanding project execution of integrated systems. From WMS software down to PLC controls, conveyors to sortation, picking eaches to full pallets – if it goes in a warehouse, it’s made more efficient by Slate River Systems,” says Chris York, Co-Founder, Slate River Systems, Inc.
