What MLT Group does

MLT Group (legal name: MLT Minet Lacing Technology SAS) is a Saint-Chamond, France-based, family-owned manufacturer specializing in conveyor belt splicing, technical belts, and complementary conveyor equipment. Founded in 1947, the company operates four manufacturing plants across France and Belgium and employs 160 people worldwide. It sells through six wholly-owned international distribution subsidiaries and a partner/agent network spanning more than 120 countries, with 92% of turnover generated in export markets; North America (Canada, USA, Mexico) is explicitly outside its served geography.

The product portfolio centers on mechanical vulcanization splice systems — SUPER-SCREW® 2024, ISC™ Integrated Screw Connection, FIX'N GO® repair patches, and Self-Lock™ fasteners for light-duty belts — engineered to enable rapid in-field splicing (claimed installation in as little as 20 minutes for ISC™) versus traditional hot vulcanization. Adjacent equipment includes the RacloFlex™ family of belt cleaners (Z² HD, SW, DP, VP, N, NT, Metal), the StarTracker™ self-tracking system, ATLAS™ impact cradles, and modular skirting/sealing systems (GlideBar™, SealBloc™, Gemini Skirt™, BigBen™ 3). The firm holds 18 active patents across three dedicated R&D departments, and all product families are explicitly cross-compatible, supporting a bundled "belt productivity ecosystem" positioning across mining, cement, construction, agriculture, food, ports, and logistics.

MLT's revenue model is primarily one-time product sale (splices, fasteners, cleaners, trackers, custom belts) supplemented by professional technical services (on-site installation, supervision, audits, and customized training). Pricing is quote-based for an enterprise-field-sales motion, with a €300 tax-excluded minimum order threshold (€100 minimum invoicing charge below that) and 60-day payment terms. Customer concentration appears diversified across 19 industrial verticals; named enterprise references include Ronchi SA (mining), Fernandes Autohandel NV (automotive and mining), and Mecavulca (vulcanization/boiler making), with claimed outcomes such as belt-life extension from 5-8 months to 2 years and downtime reduction from 8 hours to 2 hours.

Core offering

MLT Group manufactures and sells mechanical splicing systems (SUPER-SCREW®* 2024, ISC™, FIX'N GO®*, Self-Lock™, IFS™) for joining conveyor belts, along with conveyor cleaning scrapers (RacloFlex™), belt tracking devices (StarTracker™), transfer-point impact cradles and skirting/sealing systems (ATLAS™, GlideBar™, SealBloc™, Gemini Skirt™, BigBen™ 3), and installation tools. The company also provides on-site technical services (installation, supervision, audits, training) and custom-made belts for industrial customers in mining, cement, construction, agriculture and food processing, supported by 4 manufacturing plants in France and Belgium.

Product overview

MLT Group is a French belt lacing manufacturer specializing in conveyor belt solutions. The product portfolio centers on mechanical splice systems (SUPER-SCREW 2024, ISC, FIX'N GO, Self-Lock, IFS) for joining conveyor belts, complemented by conveyor equipment including belt cleaners/scrapers (RacloFlex Z² HD, SW, DP, VP, N, NT, Metal), belt trackers (StarTracker), and transfer point sealing solutions (ATLAS, GlideBar, SealBloc, Gemini Skirt, BigBen 3). The range includes agricultural-specific products (Titan 05 fasteners, round baler belts, thrower belts), installation tools (Quick Driver, MR tool, Self-Lock tool), and technical services (on-site installation, training). The products are designed to work together as an integrated system, with key products like SUPER-SCREW, ISC, and FIX'N GO being explicitly designed as 100% compatible with MLT's cleaning and tracking equipment.

Direct peers

• Flexco: US-based global leader in conveyor belt splicing, fasteners, cleaning, and tracking products. Flexco is the closest head-to-head competitor to MLT's SUPER-SCREW, Self-Lock and belt-cleaner portfolio, serving the same mining and aggregate end markets.
• Martin Engineering: US-based manufacturer of conveyor belt cleaners, belt trackers, transfer-point sealing, and air-cannon systems. Directly overlaps MLT's RacloFlex, StarTracker, ATLAS, SealBloc and Gemini product lines for bulk-material handling customers.
• All-State Industries: US-based industrial rubber and conveyor belt service provider with vulcanizing, splicing, and lagging capabilities. Comparable service-and-product model to MLT's combined offering of splices and on-site installation services.
• Kinder Australia: Australia-based manufacturer of conveyor products including belt cleaners, transfer-point solutions, and skirting. Directly comparable to MLT's RacloFlex, SealBloc and Gemini Skirt lines for the same bulk-materials customers, though primarily regional to Australia/APAC.

Broad incumbents

• Fenner Dunlop: Global manufacturer of heavyweight conveyor belts serving mining and bulk handling. Overlaps with MLT on conveyor system solutions but is much larger and vertically integrated into belt manufacturing rather than splicing accessories.
• Continental ContiTech: Major industrial rubber products division of Continental, offering conveyor belts, hoses, and related components. Comparable end markets (mining, cement, automotive) and global scale but a much broader product portfolio than MLT's splicing specialization.
• Bridgestone: Diversified tire and industrial rubber producer with a conveyor belt product line serving global mining customers. Comparable buyer base in heavy industry but a significantly broader product mix and larger scale than MLT.
• Habasit: Global manufacturer of conveyor and power transmission belts, including fabric and modular belts. Comparable conveyor-belt focus and global distribution model, but operates at much larger scale across multiple industries.
• Forbo Movement Systems: Global manufacturer of conveyor and processing belts with a strong food-industry and lightweight-conveyor focus. Comparable belt-product breadth and global distribution model, including IFS-style light-duty splice territory where MLT also plays.

Others

• Metso: Major mining and aggregates equipment OEM that sells complete crushing, screening, and conveying systems. Metso is largely an MLT customer/buyer rather than competitor, but they overlap in the bulk-materials handling value chain and influence end-customer specification decisions for splicing accessories.
