Fenner Brasil – Combining Local Expertise with Global Engineering
Fenner Dunlop’s presence in South America has taken an important step forward with the official integration of ConVeyBelts into the Fenner Dunlop Group as Fenner Brasil.
The move formalises the company’s integration into the Fenner Dunlop Group, part of the Michelin Group, and strengthens Fenner Dunlop’s foothold in one of the world’s most demanding environments for industrial conveyor technology.
Who is Fenner Brasil?
ConVeyBelts has been operating in Brazil for decades, building a track record for technical performance and long-term reliability in some of the harshest industrial conditions in South America. Mining operations, heavy bulk material handling, and continuous high-load applications place extraordinary demands on conveyor belting, and it is precisely in these environments that the company built its expertise.
One milestone stands out: ConVeyBelts was the first to introduce steel cord conveyor belts to the Brazilian market, a technology that raised the bar for tensile strength, durability, and operational reliability across the country’s mining and heavy industry sectors. That engineering foundation remains at the core of what Fenner Brasil brings to the market today.
What does the integration mean in practice?
The change is more than a name change. As Fenner Brasil, the company now operates with full access to Fenner Dunlop’s global product portfolio, technical resources, and research capabilities, built on the same engineering heritage that has driven over 100 years of innovation in conveyor belting worldwide.
In practical terms, that means access to high-performance belting solutions engineered for the most demanding conditions in mining, energy, cement, and heavy industry, built around the standards of operational reliability and long service life that determine the true cost of any conveyor installation.
Building capacity for the future
Construction of a new manufacturing facility in Brazil is currently underway. When complete, it will expand local production capacity, bring advanced manufacturing technologies to the region, and give customers in South America more consistent access to the quality standards Fenner Dunlop maintains globally, with shorter lead times and stronger supply chain reliability.
Continuity for customers
For existing customers and partners, business continues as usual. The people, the technical knowledge, and the focus on performance in the field remain unchanged. What the integration adds is depth: global engineering resources, an expanded product range, and the industrial backing of one of the most established names in conveyor belting. For operations that cannot afford downtime, that difference matters.
