Our story began in 1979. Back then, working our of a small barn in Northern Ireland, we supplied conveyor belts to local quarries and mines.

Today, our belts don’t just carry rocks – the reputations of the biggest manufacturers of materials processing equipment are on there too, and it’s our vision is to be the No. 1 partner in this mobile equipment world, by staying close to our customers and solving their problems.
