Belt Tech Industrial Opens Fourth Location in Kentucky

Belt Tech Industrial, headquartered in Washington, Indiana, has opened a fourth branch location in Madisonville, Kentucky.

The Madisonville Belt Tech team will serve industrial customers in the Madisonville and Hopkins County area including mining operations, power plants and aggregate stone producers.

Belt Tech sells, installs and services conveyor belting and components and designs custom conveyor solutions. The company was founded in Washington in 1991 to serve area coal and power-producing companies. In addition to its home office in Washington, Belt Tech operates from offices in Du Quoin, Illinois and Clarksville, Tennessee.

“There’s a huge potential to serve customers in the Madisonville area, and our new branch location will allow us to be close at hand so that we can do that to the very best of our ability,” said Jordan Russell, the company’s chief executive officer. Russell reports Madisonville operations will begin with a crew of four employees, and that the company hopes to expand the Madisonville team within its first year there.

Belt Tech is opening the Madisonville branch location with a sizeable initial community investment.

“The mining industry continues to be strong in Hopkins County, and Belt Tech will be a good fit,” said Hopkins County Judge Executive Donnie Carroll. “We welcome the jobs and investment they’re bringing to Hopkins County, and look forward to working with them as they grow.”

Russell said Belt Tech’s Madisonville-area operations represent a crucial part of its long-term growth strategy, and that the new location will strengthen the company’s foundation.

“With the Madisonville office we’ll be able to provide on-the-spot, quality services in that area while our customer base grows,” he added.
