LEGG Company

What LEGG Company does

LEGG Company (legally ContiTech USA, Inc.) is a US-based manufacturer of specialty conveyor belts, founded in 1939 in Wareham/operating from Halstead, Kansas (325 East 10th Street), where it runs a single manufacturing facility. The company was acquired by ContiTech — the non-tire rubber technology division of Continental AG — in 2013 and has since operated as a conveyor belt brand within the ContiTech portfolio, distributing through Continental's authorized dealerships and representatives.

The product platform centers on three engineered industrial belt lines — Viper (polyester/nylon straight warp, 1- or 2-ply), Legend Line (polyester warp / nylon fill with S&Z twist construction), and Champion (polyester warp with nylon or polyester fill positioned as an affordable option) — plus specialty Cross Rigid belts for sharp-turn applications and Vacuum Filter Belts for horizontal belt filter liquid/solid separation. Configurable Belt Profiles (V-Cleat, Mini-Bite, Hercules, Atlas, diamond tops) are integrally molded into the carcass, and cover compounds are available in natural, natural/synthetic, and all-synthetic formulations tuned for extended belt life. Agricultural belting — baler, draper, pick-up, and tube conveyor — is sold via the Continental off-highway channel.

LEGG's commercial model is B2B hardware sales through direct contact (phone, [email protected]) and Continental's global dealership network, with no disclosed public pricing. End markets span industrial (mining, material handling, manufacturing), agricultural (hay balers, combines, grain handling), and adjacent food-processing uses (grain, nut, sawdust conveying). The company maintains CCPA (June 2023) and GDPR-compliant data practices inherited from the ContiTech/Continental group and operates with 11–50 employees per firmographic disclosure; revenue is not publicly reported.

Emerging players

• Intralox: Intralox is a global leader in modular plastic conveyor belts serving food, packaging, and industrial logistics markets. While material technology differs, Intralox competes for the same conveyor-related capex spend as LEGG, particularly in food processing and bulk handling.

Broad incumbents

• Forbo Movement Systems: Forbo Movement Systems (formerly Forbo Siegling) manufactures lightweight and heavyweight conveyor belts across industrial sectors including logistics, food, and automotive. Its product portfolio overlaps with LEGG's industrial belting lines, especially in processing and conveying applications.
• ContiTech (parent conveyor belt portfolio): ContiTech is LEGG's direct parent company and operates a global conveyor and industrial belt portfolio that overlaps directly with LEGG's product categories. As the incumbent rubber and belting brand, ContiTech shares core technology, materials, and end-customer relationships with LEGG, while serving a far broader international footprint.
• Fenner (Michelin): Fenner, now part of Michelin, was a long-established manufacturer of industrial conveyor belts and power transmission products. Its belt lines (including heavyweight rubber conveyor belts) compete head-to-head with LEGG in mining, aggregate, and industrial applications, particularly in North America.
• Bridgestone Conveyor Belts: Bridgestone produces heavyweight rubber conveyor belts for mining, quarrying, and bulk material handling globally. As a major incumbent in the heavy-duty industrial belt segment, it competes with LEGG in the same North American industrial accounts, particularly in aggregate and mining.
