Reinforcing the Commitment to the Belting Industry and Distribution Partners
AMMEGA Group, a global leader in power transmission and conveyor belting solutions, is proud to announce its return as exclusive presenting sponsor of the 2026 NIBA Annual Convention — marking the second consecutive year AMMEGA has held this role. This continued partnership underscores AMMEGA’s long-standing support of the belting industry and deep commitment to serving our distributor partners across the Americas.
Held annually, the NIBA (The Belting Association) convention brings together top professionals, manufacturers, and distributors to strengthen connections, share insights, and drive the industry forward. With its focus on distribution, NIBA remains an essential platform for AMMEGA to further its mission of being the local partner of choice and promoting innovation, collaboration, and customer-centric solutions in the marketplace.
“Returning as the exclusive presenting sponsor for a second year is a reflection of how much we value this community,” said Ricard Gómez, Vice President, US Conveyor Indirect Sales Channel – AMMEGA. “Our commitment to the distribution channel isn’t a one-time gesture — it’s an ongoing investment. As our portfolio grows stronger and more unified, so does our ability to support our partners with the right solutions, delivered locally and backed by global expertise.”
Strengthening the Conveyor Portfolio Through Brand Unification
This year’s sponsorship comes at a pivotal moment for AMMEGA’s conveyor business. Ammeraal Beltech, AMMEGA’s conveyor belting brand, recently unified several long-trusted names in the industry — including uni, Chemprene, and Green Belting — under a single portfolio. Each brand brings decades of specialized expertise: uni’s heritage in modular belting and chains technologies, Chemprene’s material science strength in rubber-coated textiles and lightweight rubber belting, and Green Belting’s specialization in high-performance PTFE and silicone-coated solutions.
Together, this unification gives customers access to a portfolio spanning 10 product categories — including Modular Belts and Chains, Lightweight Rubber Belts, PTFE Solutions, Synthetic Belts, and more — all while preserving the technical know-how and engineering strength that made these brands trusted names in the first place.
A Broader Portfolio, A Local Partner of Choice
This unification reinforces what AMMEGA has long aimed to be: the local partner of choice for customers across the Americas. With one of the broadest portfolios in the industry — spanning conveyor belts through Ammeraal Beltech and power transmission belts through Megadyne — AMMEGA is positioned to support customers across nearly every application, industry, and stage of their operations, all through a single, trusted relationship.
Megadyne, AMMEGA’s power transmission brand, further complements the belting portfolio, bringing decades of expertise in timing belts, v-belts, and specialty drive solutions that power manufacturing, automation, packaging, and robotics applications across the Americas. This reflects AMMEGA’s broader commitment to strengthening local supply chains and supporting customers across the region: by combining manufacturing expertise with strategically positioned inventory, Megadyne ensures both engineering know-how and immediate availability. This approach aligns with the company’s Your Local Partner of Choice commitment — delivering reliable, responsive solutions designed to meet the needs of the Americas market.
“Our focus has always been on strengthening our relationships with distributors and giving them the confidence that AMMEGA will deliver when it matters most,” said Kyo Oh, Vice President of Power Transmission and Fluid Power Solutions – AMMEGA. “Whether conveyor or power transmission belts, our commitment to service level is the same: the right product, in the right place, at the right time, backed by a team that understands our distributors’ business as well as our own.”
This sponsorship builds on the success of AMMEGA’s Belting Technology Conference (BTC) and further positions the company as a thought leader and collaborative force across the belting industry. It also reflects AMMEGA’s continued investment in localized U.S. manufacturing and customer support: over the past several years, the company has expanded its domestic operational footprint to include 14 warehouses, eight customer solution centers, five manufacturing facilities, and three fabrication sites across the United States. These investments help reduce lead times, strengthen supply chain resilience, and provide customers with faster access to products and technical support. AMMEGA looks forward to engaging with attendees, sharing insights, and continuing to shape the future of belting together with our partners.
