5.) Bernard Betts, president at Major, also addressed members of the media during a ConExpo-Con/Agg 2020 press conference. While Major showcased new technologies such as Flex-Mat ID Enabled and Flex-Mat Sensor, Betts reminded the trade press that quality product is still essential to aggregate processing. Says Betts: “Gadgets by themselves are great, but the product’s got to be great in and of itself.”
