The story
The business was founded by Joseph Henry Fenner in 1861 as a manufacturer of leather belting at Bishop Lane in Hull, England. In 1921 it diversified into textile belting and subsequently into polymer belting. In 2006 the Company initiated a major expansion in Ohio, United States.
In March 2018, French tyre maker, Michelin, launched a bid to buy the company for £1.3 billion. The acquisition was completed in May 2018.
