Ammeraal Beltech, leading worldwide developers and manufacturers of process and conveyor belting, headquartered in Alkmaar, the Netherlands, announces that it has acquired Synchrotech S. O. O. S. K., a distribution company for conveyor belts in Poland.

Synchrotech is located in Bydgoszcz, Poland, and has been servicing the belting industry for over 15 years.

The goal of this acquisition is to increase Ammeraal Beltech’s penetration in the Polish market. In addition, Synchrotech’s belt fabrication capabilities will strengthen Ammeraal Beltech’s footprint and customer service levels, particularly in the north and west of the country.

Tomáš Trčka, Ammeraal Beltech Country Manager in Poland:

"Please join us in warmly welcoming Synchrotech into the AMMEGA family and in wishing them a great deal of future success in helping Ammeraal Beltech build its position in the market."

AMMEGA: A NEW NAME IN BELTING TECHNOLOGY

The two world-leading suppliers in belting technology – Ammeraal Beltech and Megadyne Group – who came together in a merger in September of this year, have taken another important step in their integration. This month, they have announced a new corporate name for their joint operations: AMMEGA.

The integration of these two companies to effectively create a new belting champion spanning industrial power transmission belting and lightweight conveyor belting is ongoing, and continues apace. The new name of AMMEGA will serve principally to unite all of its employees under a common identity and corporate vision and mission. In view of their well-established reputations in their respective markets and their different channel-to-market strategies, which will remain unchanged, their two strong brand names – Ammeraal Beltech and Megadyne – will remain as is.

“Ensuring continuity, especially in the way we serve our valued customers, is a top priority” explains Marc Maisonneuve, AMMEGA’s Corporate Marketing Director.
