For more than seven decades, Chemprene has been recognized as a trusted name in rubber-coated textiles and lightweight rubber conveyor belting. From its beginnings in Beacon, New York, the brand has built a reputation for durability, engineering expertise, and American manufacturing excellence.
Today, that legacy continues as Chemprene becomes fully integrated within the Ammeraal Beltech brand.
As Ammeraal Beltech celebrates its 75-year anniversary, this milestone presents a natural opportunity to further unify its brand portfolio and strengthen global alignment. In many regions around the world, these legacy brands already operate under Ammeraal Beltech as part of a comprehensive belting offering—making this a logical next step in delivering a more consistent and integrated experience for customers across the Americas.
By bringing Chemprene into Ammeraal Beltech’s Lightweight Rubber portfolio, customers gain access to a broader range of conveying products while continuing to rely on the same proven materials and technical expertise developed over decades.
A Legacy Built on Innovation and Performance
Chemprene’s story began more than 76 years ago in Beacon, New York, where the company initially focused on manufacturing rubber-coated fabrics for military applications. Over time, its capabilities expanded to support a wide range of demanding industries.
Throughout the decades, Chemprene developed advanced expertise in rubber-coated textiles, including lightweight rubber conveyor belting, coated fabrics, diaphragms, and precision molded products. The company’s commitment to quality and performance helped establish it as a trusted supplier for industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, logistics, and industrial manufacturing.
This long-standing commitment to innovation, technical excellence, and customer collaboration remains a defining part of Chemprene’s legacy.
What This Means for Customers
While the Chemprene brand is being integrated into Ammeraal Beltech, customers can expect continuity in the products and materials they trust. The same lightweight rubber belts, technical expertise, manufacturing capabilities, and customer support remain unchanged.
