Superior Industries Acquires Brazilian Manufacturer of Conveyor Idlers and Pulleys
Morris, MN - Superior Industries, Inc., a major American-based manufacturer and global supplier of bulk material processing and handling systems, announced today its acquisition of Brazilian-based conveyor idler and pulley manufacturer, Parcan Group. Headquartered in Rafard, São Paulo, Parcan is considered the South American country’s market leader in idler sales and production with additional locations in Parauapebas, Pará and São Luis, Maranhão, Brazil.
“It was rewarding to find a company with a strong cultural history of hard work and innovation, which is so similar to Superior Industries,” says Jarrod Felton, the vice president of sales, marketing and engineering at Superior. “We are confident the innovative products from both our companies will create more positive opportunities for all of our customers, both domestically and internationally.”
Today, Parcan manufactures three models of conveyor idlers. A heavy-duty line, a light to medium duty line and a style dedicated for high impact situations. In addition, the 40-year-old manufacturer builds conveyor pulleys for belt widths of 650mm (24-inches) to 2400mm (96-inches) and is equipped to refurbish used pulleys. A group of in-house engineers create custom products for atypical customer applications.
Over the years, Parcan has also built a strong reputation as a technical solution’s specialist. Per client requests, teams from the company are dispatched to mines for conveyor inspections and evaluations, often proposing ideas to extend the life of machinery investments. Additionally, onsite mine visits are key for Parcan’s technical staff to evaluate product, reexamine calculations and develop improved products from the learned data.
