Cleating, Trico form distribution alliance

(June 13)—Cleating Resources and Trico Belting have formed an alliance to provide fabricated conveyor belting to the Midwest and Eastern U.S. resale and original equipment manufacturing markets. The alliance combines the marketing strengths and specialty production—Trico, in PVC, RMV, monofilament and nylon core belting; Cleating, in hot-vulcanized cleated belting—of the two firms, Cleating said. The two will continue to operate independently, however.
