Wire-Mesh Products (WMP), one of the leading U.S. manufacturers of wire mesh conveyor belts, today announces their acquisition of R.E.D Manufacturing, a woven wire conveyor belt manufacturer located in Lancaster, PA that specializes in food and architectural belting.

The merger adds a second facility to their organization, increasing total manufacturing square footage by 50% and anticipated annual revenue by 40%.

Of the company’s recent acquisition, Wire-Mesh Products Owner and President Richard Riva said, “R.E.D. brings to WMP a long, proud history of providing high-quality belts and exceptional service to their customers. The addition to our organization of their talented professionals, equipment, and industry “know-how” improves our manufacturing capabilities and increases our portfolio of available products. We are excited about the future and welcome them into our family business.”

Dustin Carl, Owner and Vice President, adds, “Over the past 40 years, Wire-Mesh Products has been very successful specializing in high-temperature belts – 1200 to 2300F.
