Align comprises of 3 main brands: Align Production Systems, Airfloat, and Hedin USA. In 1967, Airfloat was founded as the creator and innovator of air caster technology, and still continues to develop systems using this technology. Align Production Systems was created as the parent brand and is responsible for material handling equipment such as industrial turntables, welding positioners, and ergonomic equipment such as hydraulic lifts & tilts. In 2019, a joint-venture was formed between Align Production Systems and Hedin Lagan, a battery-powered transporter manufacturer. This relationship brought decades of battery and AGV technology to North America to create Hedin USA.
