Flexco, MLT establish partnership in North America

Flexco and MLT Minet Lacing Technology signed an agreement establishing Flexco as the exclusive source for MLT products in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

Flexco, headquartered in Downers Grove, Illinois, operates subsidiary locations in nine other countries and partners with its distributor network to provide products aimed to maximize productivity in belt conveyor operations, the company says.

MLT, a manufacturer of products designed to reduce conveyor belt downtime, will continue to produce for North America as Flexco integrates the MLT North American business into its organization.

Headquartered in Saint Chamond, France, MLT has three factories, six subsidiaries and two research and development centers, with products distributed in more than 120 countries. MLT will continue to manufacture and distribute its products through subsidiaries and distribution partners throughout the rest of the world.

“Flexco has long respected Minet Lacing Technology’s innovative and productivity-enhancing products, and we are looking forward to growing our business with our North American customers through this agreement,” says Thomas Wujek, Flexco president and COO.

Adds Shawn Godfrey, director of MLT U.S.: “We pride ourselves on providing our North American customers with the peace of mind of knowing that we are available to help them choose the right solution for their application, and that service and support will continue to grow with Flexco.”
