Who Will Facilitate?
Built on the knowledge and expertise of Michael Cremeens, today’s Almex Institute instructors bring much of his experience and product knowledge of over fourty years of belt splicing, manufacturing, rubbr processing and vast technical training into the classroom.
Gary Dech began working in the conveyor belting business over 35 years ago and brings firsthand knowledge of splicing, sales and application engineering in both heavyweight and lightweight belting as well as peripheral equipment such as pulleys, idlers and belt cleaning components. As the Global Technical Sales Manager for The Almex Group, Gary has facilitated and led multi-day conveyor belt splice training classes in various countries on four continents and brings experience, humor and a lighthearted attitude to any training or technical seminar.
Located in Denver, Brad Bundy started his belting career in 2007 with a leading global conveyor belt manufacturer. Since then, he has performed belt service from 2 miles under the Atlantic ocean to more than 2 miles above sea level, on belts conveying everything from prescription medication to precious metals. Brad has conducted splice training classes in multiple countries to thousands of people and believes he is as much a student as an instructor in this industry. He has written and revised new and worn belt splicing and repair procedures and invented industry-related tooling. Brad’s hands on approach focuses on Safety, Quality, and Efficiency- in that order.
