About VIS GmbH
VIS GmbH, based in Treuen (Saxony), develops and produces fabric-based conveyor belts and process belts made of PVC, PU, polyolefin and silicone as well as drive belts such as high-performance flat belts, tangential belts, timing belts and round belts. The product range comprises belt widths up to 3,000 mm, drive and conveyor belts up to 500 mm wide as well as modular belts made of PE, PP and POM, PVC and PU profiles, roller coverings and splicing accessories. Manufacturing includes coating (including on a double-belt coating machine), finishing with cutting, welding and application of profiles, finger splicing as well as special coatings, special embossing and customer-specific printing – also on customer-supplied carrier materials. The offering is rounded out by product development, on-site installation and accessories such as heating presses and finger punches. The products are used among other things in the food, agricultural and textile industries, in logistics, in the paper and printing industry as well as in raw material processing and light conveying technology. Founded in 1868, the company supplies users worldwide.
