What Fenner Dunlop does

Fenner Dunlop, through its operating subsidiary Fenner Conveyor Belting Pvt Ltd (Madurai, India), manufactures conveyor belting products for mining and industrial applications. The company's core technology is its solid woven carcass design — a belt construction refined over more than 60 years — with fire-resistant, anti-static, and impact-resistant properties engineered for demanding underground and surface mining environments.

The product portfolio comprises three primary belt families: Fenner PVC (FR) for fire-retardant applications across industries; Fenner PVG (FRSR) for heavy-duty underground trunk and drift conveyors with high tonnage and steep inclines; and Fenner SR for above-ground applications without fire-resistance requirements. Adjacent offerings include high-visibility belting with specialized PVC compounds and bucket elevator belts. The company supplements hardware sales with technical services — belt calculations, inspections, installations, field services, joining of solid woven belting, and inspection/packaging/storage — and operates in-house testing and R&D equipment for quality assurance. Fenner Dunlop is part of the Michelin Group of companies and serves mining customers across coal (primary), potash, gypsum, salt, and trona (soda ash) segments via direct B2B enterprise field sales.

Go-to-market is quote-based direct enterprise sales targeting mining and large industrial operations; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is through the Fenner Dunlop Conveyor Belting Group's global manufacturing and distribution network. The parent-subsidiary relationship with Michelin Group provides corporate backing and global reach, while the company itself operates with a workforce of 51-100 employees in its primary Indian manufacturing entity.
