Dodd Modular was founded in 1987. It has been in operation for nearly 40 years. The company moved from bespoke material-handling solutions in automotive manufacturing into modular construction around 2010.
Dodd Modular designs modular factory engineering systems. It aims to improve productivity, reduce inefficiencies, and support long-term factory performance.
| System | Purpose | Notable details |
|---|---|---|
| Semi-automated screw bridge | Bridges manual panel tables and full robotics | ROI in under 12 months; more than 20 units sold |
| Wall-handling systems | Move panels overhead | Reduces forklift congestion and improves factory flow |
| Conveyor systems | Create flow-line production for volumetric units | Includes low-friction rails, roller conveyors, and integrated belt systems |
The screw bridge is one of the company’s major innovations this year. It is designed to reduce labor bottlenecks, improve fastening consistency, and cut material waste. It is adapted to each factory’s screws, tools, and framing requirements.
Dodd Modular works with new factories and existing facilities. Its systems can support upgrades to productivity, reduced labor strain, and a shift from static buildings to flow-line production.
Simon Glenhill says factory owners should align productivity improvements with business growth plans. He says successful companies will understand their bottlenecks, reduce waste, and invest in smarter systems.
Dodd Modular sees major opportunity in North America and continues to work with companies that want to innovate, scale, and modernize modular operations.
