Packaging is a key industry segment for Belt Corporation, according to Rich Blais, General Manager of Belt Corp, “Our Vertical Form Fill Seal, Capping and Labeling belts are well recognized in the market due to our strengths in application understanding, materials and processes required to meet the ever-changing needs of the industry.”
Joining Belt Corporation will be Jason Industrial, a leader in the Power Transmission market since 1958 and a manufacturer of rubber synchronous belts and covered molded timing belts. Sampla Belting, the group’s most recent acquisition offers a full range of PU and PV conveyor belts with vast customization options to suit every packaging need.
