What BRECOflex CO. does

BRECOflex CO., L.L.C. is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of precision polyurethane timing belts, pulleys, and complementary drive components, headquartered and producing from a single Eatontown, New Jersey facility founded in 1989. The company engineers belts across multiple proprietary series (AT, ATN, ATP, ATL, move-series, BRECOprotect, Redflex Gen III, TPEXclassic) using optimized tooth geometries, 11 polyurethane compounds, and four tension member materials (high-carbon steel, stainless steel, Kevlar aramid, Hi-Flex steel) targeted at demanding motion-control applications. It complements these with pulleys, backings/covers, field connections, profile molds (2,000+ stock shapes), clamps, tensioners, flat belts, and the SM5 Tension Meter, plus free online engineering calculators and 3D configurators that anchor specification-stage customer workflows.

The company sells finished drive components on a quote-based, one-time-purchase model through direct inside sales, website quote/order forms, and free application engineering support, shipping F.O.B. its New Jersey plant. It serves seven named industrial verticals — food and beverage, medical and pharmaceutical, glass, machining/extrusion/fabrication, automation and robotics, brick/ceramic/stone, and packaging/material handling — with FDA-compliant product lines addressing regulated applications. BRECOflex holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (Certificate B00019-5) and claims the broadest range of polyurethane timing belt tooth configurations globally, supported by over 30 years of operating history, a global market reach claim, and recent investments in product extensions (TPEXclassic), digital engineering tools, Spanish-language ordering, and digitized export shipping documentation.
