Business Transformation Manager

The Company

Ammeraal Beltech and Megadyne, two of the leaders in the commercial belt sector, joined under single ownership and leadership to create a true global leader in belting. In order to merge both brands under a common new identity, while preserving and building upon the strengths of each, we have created a new corporate group umbrella name: AMMEGA. The two strong brands of Ammeraal Beltech and Megadyne, and their respective business lines of Conveyor Belting and Power Transmission, will remain in the market and continue to build on the leading positions they have established.

The Business Transformation Office (BTO)

In order to direct and drive Ammega’s transformation and create value, the company set up a BTO Team.

This team consists of people with a combination of backgrounds in consulting, private equity, project management and industry. The head of the team reports directly to the CEO and the entire team has significant exposure to the company’s Board and to the PE fund, which gives the team a high leverage.

The BTO team is responsible for continuously developing, initiating and driving value creation initiatives within Ammega. These initiatives consist of top-line, cost-related, organizational and strategic initiatives, and thus are a key driver of the company’s transformation.

The BTO team helps develop transformative value creation initiatives and works closely with key executives within the company to execute these initiatives.
