Midwest Industrial Rubber Acquires Jerry Brothers Industries

Expands national footprint to 25 sales and service locations

MIR, a leading fabricator and distributor of conveyor and power transmission belting and related components, has acquired Jerry Brothers Industries (JBI), a distributor of conveyor belting originally operating with locations in Richmond, VA. Founded in 1905, JBI is one of the industry’s most recognizable brands

The strategic acquisition expands MIR’s geographical footprint across the Virginia and North Carolina regions and strengthens its capabilities in attractive end markets. By combining Jerry Brothers’ leading position within these markets with MIR’s product portfolio and group expertise, customers on both sides gain the ability to further consolidate their purchasing needs.

For JBI, the move reflects a natural next step. The JBI team has long prided itself on delivering belting solutions that increase customers’ profits, and becoming part of MIR now allows the company to offer expanded capabilities to those same customers.

Teaming up with MIR positions JBI to fulfill its growth potential in a rapidly expanding marketplace, while maintaining its core commitment to respect for employees and exemplary customer care. These are values MIR shares deeply.

This is MIR’s fourth acquisition in 2018, adding two new locations and bringing the company’s national footprint to 25 sales and service locations.

For more than 110 years, Jerry Brothers Industries has specialized in tobacco belting, working across every stage of the process from harvest through final product. That depth of experience now sits alongside MIR’s own tobacco industry belting solutions, giving customers a wider range of rubber, polyolefin, and polyester belting options, custom fabrication, and tobacco-approved materials for every application.
