REMA TIP TOP Acquires Almex Assets to Boost Conveyor Tech

REMA TIP TOP has acquired significant assets and operations of Canada’s Almex Group, expanding its conveyor belt vulcanising systems portfolio and service reach. Almex will keep its brand, manufacturing footprint and teams, with production remaining in Canada, China and Spain. The move follows July’s court-approved deal framework and continues integration planning focused on business continuity. Poing, Germany announced the transaction on 5 September 2025.

REMA TIP TOP says the acquisition strengthens its position in integrated conveying solutions by combining Almex’s vulcanising press expertise with REMA TIP TOP’s global network and R&D. Almex will maintain brand identity and operations, while customers are told to expect continuity and quicker service from acquired entities. In Mexico, Brazil and Africa, REMA TIP TOP and Almex Canada Ltd. will act as channel partners.

“The integration of Almex into the REMA TIP TOP family marks a major milestone. Together we combine technical excellence and innovation, top-class service standards, and customer focus to drive global growth. Our customers will benefit from expanded capacities and our worldwide service network,” said Michael Übelacker, CEO, REMA TIP TOP Group.

Manufacturing footprint and continuity

Founded in Parry Sound in 1962, Almex is recognised for conveyor belt vulcanisation and splicing systems with installations in 120+ countries. Production will remain in Canada, China and Spain; operating companies in the Netherlands, United States, Australia, Indonesia, Chile and Peru also remain in place under REMA TIP TOP.
