The World Leader in Stretcher Leveler Technology

Since 1986, Red Bud Industries has been a renowned builder of Stretcher Levelers with a global presence of over 70 installations worldwide. As a pioneer in Stretcher Leveling machine technology, Red Bud Industries has established itself as the industry leader, offering unparalleled expertise and innovation.
