Frontline designer
From pioneer to world leader
Hutchinson is a world leader in its specialty field: the design of belt-driven systems and POLY V® belt power transmission systems.
Hutchinson was a pioneer in transforming traditional V-belt assemblies into sophisticated POLY V® belt drives and automatic tensioning devices.
Recourse to predictive calculations
As early as the 1960s in household appliances and industry, then with the automotive in the 1980s. Hutchinson provided safe usage for all its clients via a recourse to predictive calculations of operating lifetime, vibration and acoustic behavior.
A worldwide rollout
In order to develop its specialty in major markets worldwide, Hutchinson, which has control over its manufacturing processes, set up shop in Poland, Brazil and China where it produces POLY V® belts at the highest levels of quality and reliability.
Meet as yet unexpressed requirements
It is Hutchinson's duty to always be at the cutting-edge of innovation by offering products and designs that anticipate its clients’ needs. It recently demonstrated once again such a capability with the invention of the elastic FLEXONIC® belt, STRETCHYBELT® or with an adapted module. This represents a true revolution in the world of transmission.
