Mecadrum, experience and innovation
Created from the merger of ORMETRA and AMV (Ateliers de Mécanique de Valenciennes), Mecadrum combines two areas of expertise and is recognised in all industries that use drum conveyors, where operating loss costs are high and reliability is required (mining, steelmaking, port areas, cement works, food processing, automotive, etc.). Mecadrum designs, manufactures and markets drums, drum motors, bearings, rollers and scrapers for conveyors and lifts. For over 20 years, Mecadrum has been developing its own calculation software dedicated to drive drums, and is constantly investing in high-performance production resources (robots, CNC machines, etc.). Thanks to these modern tools, Mecadrum exports all over the world.
