All products from company-owned brands PHOENIX, IMAS, Kolubara, Matador and National Belt Service will be integrated into the broad Continental product and service portfolio. LEGG and BELTTRADE belt products will remain available to North American distributors. All LEGG agricultural products will be integrated into the Continental product portfolio and sold under the Continental brand.

“We see fast-changing requirements in our markets. A few years ago, our customers asked for high-quality, long-life belts. Now, construction, industry and mining companies are looking for safety, quality, efficiency and productivity gains,” said Andreas Bakenhus, Head of Conveying Solutions Service Segment, Continental. “Our customers are requiring integrated solutions covering the entire value chain around a belt from commissioning, consulting and training to digital monitoring and on-site maintenance. Additionally, energy-optimized belts, new business models and sustainability aspects will play a crucial and competitive role in the future.”
