Bedeschi Group acquires Dearborn Mid-West Conveyor Co.

Bedeschi S.P.A. of Padua, Italy, has announced the recent asset purchase of the bulk group of Dearborn Mid-West Conveyor Co.

Dearborn is a leading provider of turnkey bulk material handling systems for utility, mining, cement, fertilizer, refinery and marine terminal markets. After claiming 17th place in Modern’s 2014 Top 20 Systems Suppliers, the company launched a materials handling systems division.

Founded in 1947, the bulk group—under the new name Bedeschi Mid-West Conveyor LLC (BMWC)—has operations located in Lenexa, Kan. From there it designs, fabricates and installs complex bulk materials handling systems including pipe conveyors and rotary plows.

Rino Bedeschi, managing director of the Bedeschi Group, said he was excited about BMWC becoming part of the Bedeschi Team. “Having been in business for 107 years,” he said, “we are sure the merger will serve our clients with a wider range of products and services with broader organizational capabilities for future domestic and international projects.”
