Habasit UK is currently developing a new timing belt manufacturing facility that will offer rapid delivery service. The award-winning belting manufacturer has made significant investment into an existing facility in Swansea, due for completion Summer 2023. An expert team of fabrication specialists will craft Habasit’s range of Synchronous Motion Drive (SMD) products, mainly HabaSYNC timing belts, for UK sale and distribution.

Gary Vickers, Habasit UK Timing Belt Technical Manager stated: “Engineering & plant managers require a rapid response to ensure productivity volumes remain high and consistent.
