Ammeraal Beltech story begins with one extraordinary new baking belt named AmDough capable of high performance in extreme conditions, developed for the Bakery Industry by Thomas Ammeraal in 1950. On the strength of this innovative product, he founded Ammeraal.
Ammeraal expanded beyond Dutch borders, opening operations in Germany; more countries soon followed.
The company became part of Gamma Holding, and it was Gamma that later acquired Verseidag AG and merged its belting subsidiary with Ammeraal to form Ammeraal Beltech.
Bondabelt, a UK-based manufacturer of process and conveyor belting, became part of Ammeraal's growing international network. The acquisition strengthened the company's position in the British market and expanded local manufacturing, fabrication, and service capabilities.
Ammeraal acquired Chemprene, a well-established manufacturer of lightweight rubber belts and rubber-coated textiles based in Beacon, New York. Chemprene brought decades of expertise in rubber materials, coated fabrics, and specialty belting products.
A major milestone came when Ammeraal merged with Verseidag Beltech. As part of the Verseidag Beltech merger, Ammeraal Beltech gained the RAPPLON® brand, a Swiss manufacturer renowned for high-performance flat belts, and Burrell, recognized for specialized woven and conveyor belt solutions.
Ammeraal Beltech acquired the Danish company uni-chains A/S, a family-owned manufacturer of modular plastic belts and chains. The acquisition gave Ammeraal access to one of the industry's most respected modular belting technologies and a strong presence in food, packaging, automotive, paper, and printing industries.
Green Belting, a specialist in PTFE- and silicone-coated fabrics, belts, and tapes, was integrated into the Ammeraal Beltech family. Founded in Canada, Green Belting brought expertise in high-temperature, non-stick, and chemically resistant materials used in demanding industrial processes.
After acquisition by Partners Group, Ammeraal Beltech joined forces with Megadyne and announced their new merged name: AMMEGA.
