“Over the decades, Cambridge has built a reputation unequaled in the conveyor belt industry thanks to a world-class team of innovators, fabricators and market experts,” said Tracy Tyler, Cambridge president and Rexnord vice president, Food Vertical, for www.worldbakers.com. “Now, as a Rexnord company, I am confident that Cambridge will exponentially grow our market opportunities as we continue to develop new technologies, optimize systems and pioneer new standards that improve baking production and food safety.”
Rexnord and Cambridge offer the baking and food industries both metal and plastic conveyor belt options as well as bearings, drives, chains and other parts needed to moved baked goods across a plant.
“The combination of Cambridge’s leadership in bakery and food applications, and Rexnord’s strength in highly-engineered mechanical components yields an unequaled portfolio of conveying solutions that creates value for customers,” said Sudhanshu Chhabra, president Consumer Goods for Rexnord.
