Engineered bearings and power transmission products manufacturer and distributor Solve Industrial Motion Group has acquired D&D Global — a conveyor bearings manufacturer headquartered in Rock Valley, OH. This is the fourth deal that Charlotte, NC-based Solve has announced in 2025’s fourth quarter, following Miller Bearing Company (Kent, OH) on Oct. 27, B&B Manufacturing (La Porte, IN) on Oct. 19 and Power Rite Products (New Bunswick, NJ) on Oct. 14.

There are now 11 brands under the Solve umbrella.

D&D, in business for over 20 years, operates out of four locations and is a 100% vertically integrated manufacturer of power drive belts. D&D specializes in V-belts and timing belts, offering more than 35,000 belt configurations.

“The D&D acquisition expands Solve’s rapidly growing manufacturing capabilities,” Solve CEO Ernie Lauber said in a Dec. 8 news release. “D&D’s belts are some of the most high-performing in the industry, and I’m excited they are now part of the Solve family.” Lauber also added that “This completes a series of acquisitions for 2025 that positions Solve as the premier provider of the full drive train solution.”

“This is a great opportunity for D&D,” said Barry Emmelkamp, Chief Operating Officer of D&D Global. “Solve’s platform is the perfect place to continue the growth of D&D.”
