What Almex Group does
Almex Group (legally Almex Canada Limited, formerly Shaw-Almex Industries Limited) designs and manufactures vulcanizing presses and control systems used to splice and repair industrial conveyor belts, serving mining, cement, aggregate, materials-handling, and industrial-manufacturing operators. Its core technology spans heavyweight presses (frame, sectional, and repair), lightweight presses (MVP, Vortex, Vulcaweld/VWP models), a control-systems line including ground-fault options and intelligent tablets, and the EMSYS belt monitoring and rip-detection platform acquired in 2017. Supporting products include vulcanizing splice materials, fluid and pressure pumps, and specialized sub-brands such as Fusion Products, BAT Products, and votech Products.
The company monetizes through four revenue streams: one-time industrial equipment sales, professional on-site services (splicing, pulley lagging, rigging, installation, scanning, QA and auditing), spare parts, refurbishment and consumables, and training delivered through the Almex Institute. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales executed through 18 globally placed offices covering Canada, the United States, and South America (Peru, Brazil, and neighboring markets), with supplementary brand presence on LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook and participation in international industry events.
Almex Group was independently held until September 5, 2025, when key assets and operations were acquired by REMA TIP TOP, an industrial strategic acquirer in the conveyor and rubber products sector. The company continues to operate under new ownership. Certifications include AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act) compliance and PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) compliance, reflecting its Canadian-domiciled private-limited-company structure.

Almex Group competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Flexco: Specialist in mechanical belt fasteners, belt cleaning, and conveyor belt maintenance tools. Competes with Almex in the conveyor belt splicing and maintenance category, particularly in light-duty and field applications where mechanical fasteners substitute for vulcanizing.
- Habasit: Global manufacturer of conveyor and power transmission belts, including lightweight fabric and plastic belts. Comparable as a belting manufacturer serving similar industrial segments, though with stronger focus on lighter-duty industrial applications versus Almex's heavy mining emphasis.
- Martin Engineering: Provider of conveyor belt cleaning, tracking, and material handling solutions including belt training, monitoring, and on-site services. Comparable in targeting the same mining and bulk materials handling customers with complementary belt management and service offerings.
- REMA TIP TOP: Global leader in conveyor belt service products, rubber linings, and wear protection. Now Almex's parent company following the September 2025 acquisition, with directly overlapping conveyor belt splicing, maintenance, and service offerings serving the same mining and industrial customers.
- Fenner Dunlop: Manufacturer of heavyweight conveyor belts and provider of conveyor belt installation, splicing, and monitoring services for mining and bulk materials handling. Directly comparable in serving the same end markets with overlapping equipment, materials, and service offerings.
Broad incumbents
- Metso: Major OEM of mining and bulk materials handling equipment including crushers, conveyors, and processing plants. Comparable as a buyer and influencer of conveyor belt vulcanizing equipment within its installed base, and as a broader mining lifecycle solutions provider.
- ContiTech (Continental): Industrial division of Continental AG supplying conveyor belts, power transmission products, and related services globally. Comparable in product scope (conveyor and industrial belting) and customer base (mining, bulk handling, manufacturing), though as part of a much broader industrial rubber portfolio.
- Bridgestone Industrial: Industrial division of Bridgestone producing conveyor belts and related products for mining, quarrying, and bulk handling. Comparable as a heavy-duty conveyor belt manufacturer serving overlapping mining customers, though as part of a much larger diversified tire and rubber company.
Regional players
- Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions: Provider of mining equipment, tools, and digital solutions for rock excavation and materials handling. Comparable as a mining-capex-driven industrial equipment and service provider serving the same end customers, though with limited direct overlap in vulcanizing-specific products.
Emerging players
- FLSmidth: Supplier of equipment, service, and digital solutions to the global mining and cement industries including conveyor systems. Comparable as a mining capex-driven equipment and service provider with growing emphasis on digital monitoring, partially overlapping Almex's customer base.
