Belding, Michigan, since 1959

We build the whole line.

Belco designs, builds and installs custom extrusion and finishing systems, and stands behind them from the drawing board to your shop floor.

Our story

We are Belco. The Systems Solution People.

Belco began in 1959 when co-workers with experience in paint application and aluminum extrusion set out to build a company around solving customers’ manufacturing problems. Their goal was to combine American-made equipment with service that continued beyond installation. That founding purpose connects directly to how we work today: understanding the customer’s operation, engineering equipment to fit it, and standing behind what we build.

More than six decades later, Belco builds custom finishing and extrusion equipment from a facility of more than 70,000 square feet in Belding, Michigan. We serve manufacturers worldwide, with capabilities that include large and complex systems. Our history brings together expertise in both industries, while longstanding customer relationships show the continuity of our original commitment to service.
