en.Wedoany.com Reported - Martin Engineering, a provider of bulk material handling solutions, has announced the acquisition of ConveyorTech (CVT) in Australia, marking an unprecedented enhancement to its global product line. This move enables material processors and mine operators to access the broadest selection of belt cleaners from the company.

Martin Engineering stated that the acquisition encompasses numerous non-polyurethane designs previously unavailable from Martin, positioning the company as a one-stop supplier for belt cleaners and components. CVT holds extensive intellectual property, designs, and specifications for proven conveyor components, with a history of years of product innovation. Martin Engineering is gradually introducing these products to the market, starting with heavy-duty primary and secondary belt cleaners equipped with tungsten carbide blades, designed for the most demanding mining applications.

Bert Erdmann, Global Engineering Manager for Conveyor Products at Martin Engineering, said: "This transaction represents one of our most significant strategic expansions in the past decade. The CVT product line is designed to complement our existing portfolio, which is renowned for high-performance belt cleaners and conveyor products. Regardless of the industry, application, or processing challenge, Martin Engineering is now better equipped than ever to provide solutions that help customers reduce carryback, lower maintenance, and improve safety."

Meanwhile, Rory Summerford, who previously worked closely with CVT, has joined Martin Engineering to oversee the integration of new products and collaborate with global business units to drive growth. With 30 years of experience supporting major mine operators and material producers, Summerford brings deep expertise in conveyor systems and bulk material handling solutions.

Summerford commented: "The CVT product line brings proven designs and robust construction that align well with Martin Engineering's long-standing commitment to safety, efficiency, and operational excellence. These products inject the Martin premium brand into areas we previously did not cover, allowing us to supply spare parts and wear components for existing installations. I am pleased to take on a leadership role in integrating this product line into Martin Engineering's portfolio and continuing to create greater value for customers."
