Why MIR

Conveyor belting problems we solve

Our customers seek our expertise when a conveyor belt:

• Shows signs of damage.

• Causes excess waste.
• Doesn’t meet sanitation standards.

They also seek us out when their belt provider:

• Isn’t cost-competitive.
• Doesn’t meet necessary response time.
• Can’t deliver or install efficiently.
• Only provides products, not solutions.

MIR solves these problems with best-in-class conveyor belting products and thoroughly trained technicians to implement services. Get to know our product offerings and service capabilities, and read on below for our areas of expertise that benefit your facility’s reliability, throughput and bottom line.

What makes us different?

Customized and specialized solutions

MIR can source, supply and fabricate all of the conveyor belts, pulleys and accessories your facility needs to operate. And because we engineer your full conveyor system with all of the components in mind, you can be confident in your conveyor’s ability to function under rigorous production line conditions. We offer:

• Best-in-class fabrication capabilities: With expansive inventory and the latest fabrication tools and equipment, we can design and build belting matched to your unique application — even if it’s a style that’s never been done before.
• Latest technology: We work with the best manufacturers from around the world, and have access to their engineering and R&D teams to match the product to your needs and deliver the best solution available.
• Global brand access. We aren’t tied to a single vendor — meaning you have access to product brands across the globe and will always get a best-fit product for your application line.

Partnership and problem solving

Simply put, we don’t stop at one solution. We put this philosophy to work in product selection and service implementation, playing an active part in improving your facility’s efficiency, throughput and bottom-line. We offer:

• Auditing expertise: Through decades of working with thousands of facilities nationwide, we know how to access and generate actionable audit data with the MIR Belting Audit™.
• Focus on TCO: Belt replacement cost is just one factor, and our highly trained sales team is also focused on product selection, maintenance, application and lowering your total cost of ownership.
• Holistic approach: We think beyond belting; we understand the full life cycle, from installation to maintenance to replacement.

Education and training

The MIR sales team is fully trained in fabrication and material applications, and are always searching for new belting technology that improves your conveyor system. From the initial conversation with your MIR sales representative to the final post-installment discussion with your MIR technician, you’ll leave thinking, “They know what they’re talking about.” We offer:

• Technical training programs: We make sure both our employees and customers are up to date with the industry’s latest solutions. Employees go through mandatory product and safety training multiple times a year.
• Career advancement opportunities: With many employees staying a majority of their career, we make sure they have paths to grow — both through in-house and third-party leadership training.
• Emphasis on safety: Each and every employee in all of our facilities is educated continuously about safe handling of both products and equipment.
• Continuous improvement (CI): There is no status quo; we develop and implement CI programs for each customer, partnering with them to ensure that we drive better performance across multiple metrics.
