The International Tire Exposition & Conference (ITEC) is the leading event exclusively dedicated to tire makers and those that support the industry. Hosted by Rubber & Plastics News, ITEC brings together world-class experts and exhibitors who deliver real-world experience and solutions. The 3-day event is being held in Akron, OH at the John S. Knight Center on Sept 13th-15th.
As a company with extensive history with the tire industry, we know the importance of this event. The show, held every 2 years, is an opportunity to showcase innovative technologies and to hear from industry professionals regarding the trends and future of tire manufacturing.
At UMD we create state of the art handling systems with a special emphasis on tire, rubber, and Tier 1 automotive applications. Attending an exposition such as ITEC gives us the opportunity to listen to the needs of the tire industry so that we understand the challenges, equipment needs, and performance objectives of each application. In this way we can build a system that improves productivity and efficiencies.
We are very excited to bring our new ZTR Curve and MDR motorized driven conveyors to the show this year. The ZTR Curve enables 90° and 180° powered curves in a wide variety of sizes. MDR conveyors utilize the latest in automated technology without the need for external drive motors. In addition we will be showcasing the types of systems we design and build for tire manufacturing including components for rubber mixing, batching, and extruding; modular conveying; and diverting, accumulating, and stacking/destacking.

UMD experts will be available in Booth 105 to demonstrate our innovative equipment and answer any questions. We hope you stop by and look forward to meeting with you.
