With the merger of Ammeraal Beltech and Megadyne, a powerful new belting champion has been created under the AMMEGA group name. Both brands will exhibit together on stand B30/C29, Hall 25, at this year’s Hannover Messe. Bringing together an unmatched combination of power transmission and conveyor belting, the creation of AMMEGA promises an even broader, more dynamic, and more customer-focussed business vision.
Both have over 60 years of industry service, and a customer base running into the thousands, the two brands have acquired in-depth expertise across the world’s different industries; and their product portfolio spans custom solutions for such markets as food, packaging, elevators, material handling, fitness, and medical, as well as automotive, construction and heavy industry, robotics, and commercial and domestic appliances.
Special invitation to stand visitors
