UK Preferred Partner for Movex®
UK Preferred Partner for Movex®
UK Cross-Reference Guide
Looking for Rexnord® or Regal Rexnord conveyor components in the UK? We have transitioned to the Movex® range, the Italian premium conveyor brand. For Rexnord parts that don’t have an exact Movex equivalent, our in-house CNC machining service can produce custom replacements to your specification, often within a 2-week lead time.
A Transparent Note on Our Brand Partnership
For many years, SL Plastics was a UK distributor of Regal Rexnord conveyor products, including Rexnord chains, modular belts, sprockets and the System Plast range. Following the global brand consolidation under Regal Rexnord and changes in the UK distribution landscape, we have now partnered with Movex®, the Italian premium conveyor manufacturer, as their UK Preferred Partner, Stockist and Supplier.
For our existing customers running Rexnord on legacy equipment, the practical impact is small. Most Rexnord components have a direct Movex equivalent of equal or better quality, in stock at our Norfolk warehouse. For the parts that don’t have an exact match, our in-house CNC machining service can produce custom replacements to your drawing.

When Movex Doesn't Have an Exact Match
Some Rexnord components on older UK installations were developed for specific OEM applications and don’t have a direct Movex equivalent. Rather than tell you “we can’t help”, our in-house engineering team can produce custom replacements from your original drawings, photographs of the worn part, or by reverse-engineering a sample.
We have three heavy-duty CNC routers, mills and a lathe in our Norfolk workshop, with capacity for prototypes, one-offs, and short production runs. Typical lead times are 1 to 2 weeks, often less for urgent breakdown work.
This combination of stocked Movex parts and on-demand UK machining is what makes us a true single-supplier solution for legacy Rexnord equipment, regardless of how unusual the component might be.
Send us the part number, original drawing, or even a photo of the worn part. Our engineering team will identify the precise Movex equivalent or quote for a custom-machined replacement, with UK stock confirmation and pricing.
Why Movex Is the Right Choice

1700+ Movex items in our Norfolk warehouse, plus on-demand CNC machining for parts Movex doesn't cover.
