About Wire Belt
About Wire Belt
Wire Belt traces its origins to 1919 and the J.W. Greer Company, founded by Jesse Wade Greer in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which produced some of the world's first automated confectionery and bakery equipment. Wire Belt Company of America itself was established in 1947 as a spin-off from that original Greer operation, and is now based in Bedford, New Hampshire.
Since 1947, Wire Belt Company of America has developed advanced conveyor and belting solutions engineered for the automated processing needs of industries including food processing, textiles, electronics, agriculture, and automotive manufacturing. A related UK entity, Wire Belt Company Ltd, was founded in 1962 by the Greer family in Bromley, Kent, and the American and British operations were reunited in 1988, decades after both had spun off independently from J.W. Greer Ltd.
The company has since expanded further, acquiring Industrielle Drahtsverarbeitung Osterloh GmbH, a German belt manufacturer with a history stretching back over 130 years, and now operates manufacturing facilities across the United Kingdom, the United States, and Germany with roughly 239 employees. On ChatMRO, buyers can ask for a specific Wire Belt mesh pattern or width and get matched directly to a verified supplier.
