Home About us The Ammeraal Beltech story The Ammeraal Beltech story Ammeraal Beltech has grown thru a combination of organic growth, geographical expansion and targeted acquisitions. Our History While many of our subsidiary companies have been active in the belting industry for more than a century, the Ammeraal Beltech story begins with one extraordinary new baking belt capable of high performance in extreme conditions, developed for the Bakery Industry by Thomas Ammeraal in 1950. On the strength of this innovative product, he founded Ammeraal. In 1964, the company expanded beyond Dutch borders, opening operations in Germany; more countries soon followed. In 1990, the company became part of Gamma Holding, and it was Gamma that later acquired Verseidag AG and merged its belting subsidiary with Ammeraal to form Ammeraal Beltech. In 2008, AB acquired the Danish modular belting company uni-chains A/S. In 2015, Advent International, a private equity firm, acquired Ammeraal Beltech. In 2018, Partners Group, also a private equity firm, acquired Ammeraal Beltech. In December 2018, Ammeraal Beltech and Megadyne joined under single ownership and leadership to create a true global leader in belting: AMMEGA 1950 1964 1990 1994 1997 2000 2002 2008 2012 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2018/2019 Read more about us Our Vision & Mission Our Value Proposition Corporate Social Responsibility Jobs & Careers Our Values Our History Memberships Milestones 1950: Incorporation by Thomas Ammeraal 1964: International expansion 1990: Part of Gamma Holding 1994: Acquisition of Bondabelt in the UK 1997: Acquisition of Chemprene in the US 2000: Merger with Verseidag Beltech (incl.
