How Young Industries use DraftSight Enterprise & SOLIDWORKS.

Young Industries is a manufacturer of custom-designed equipment for handling dry bulk materials in the chemical, petrochemical, ceramics, and coatings industries. The company has been manufacturing conveying systems and related components since 1947 and holds many patents for problem solving equipment.

Users of SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD for the past two decades, Young Industries chose DraftSight Enterprise because it’s easy to maintain and support, includes the features the company needs – at a better price – and is the most compatible with the company’s SOLIDWORKS design environment.
