More than just a belt conveyors manufacturer

Home » About us

We are convinced that the real value a company can bring to its customers lies in listening carefully to their needs and formulating a personalised solution.

Our mission

To bring simplicity to bulk professionals.

Our field of expertise focuses on the design and manufacture of customisable and mobile belt conveyors that adapt to the needs of each customer.

By meeting sometimes complex problems, our mission is to bring you simplicity in the management of your flows of bulk products and bags.

As a conveyor manufacturer, we provide you with simple, versatile conveyor belts designed to adapt to the uses of each sector of activity.

A unique proposition in the world of industrial capital goods

An adventure that began in 2007.

In 2007, two partners, Olivier Dobelle and Hrvoje Meden, took over an agricultural equipment company that later became SAUTEC in 2016.

From the start, the two co-managers turned their attention to handling equipment that was relatively unknown outside the world of agriculture: the “grain belt conveyor”. The two men noticed the potential of this conveyor belt, capable of meeting the varied needs of bulk handling and the requirements of professionals in agriculture, industry, waste, construction and logistics.

The SAUTEC strategy was born: to be the specialist in conveyor belts and to develop a mobile, adaptable and customisable range that meets the needs of all sectors.

A complementary duo that has endured for 2 decades.

Olivier Dobelle and Hrvoje Meden share a collaboration that has spanned several professional adventures. A synergy born of their complementary skills.

It’s a story that reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction, reinforcing our position as a reliable manufacturer of belt conveyors and a specialist in continuous handling.

We complement each other very well. The division of roles is extremely clear. Olivier has a vision of the market and is good at customer relations. For my part, I’m responsible for industrial production and monitoring the supply chain through to delivery and commissioning of our conveyors.

Our ambition is to be the conveyors manufacturer specialising in flexible continuous handling.

Our ambition is to be the conveyor manufacturer specialising in flexible continuous handling.

Our priority is the total satisfaction of our customers, the continuous improvement of our manufacturing sites and the well-being of our employees.

We also want our external partners to find personal and professional fulfilment in working with us.

These commitments are essential in our drive to become the specialist conveyor manufacturer in Europe and Africa for flexible continuous handling of medium loads and capacities.

We don’t have specifications. We make the customer’s needs our own. We go into the intimacy of their business to understand it and grasp the issues at stake. There are occasional needs where we have to bend over backward to respond quickly. It’s a challenge…
