JACKSON, Tenn. — The first steps of a rebuild at Allied Hose & Belting Company, Inc., 40 N. Conalco Drive, are noticeable.
The remains of a building destroyed by a February 2026 fire are being removed to make way for a new facility.
The company is a fabricator and light manufacturer serving West Tennessee, Western Kentucky, parts of Missouri, Alabama, and Mississippi within a 75-to-100-mile service radius.
Allied is part of RAGCO (Rubber and Gasket Companies), a buying group that has grown from 53 to 73 locations and is now expanding westward to Oregon. The company stocks a broad range of industrial maintenance items — felt, leather, cork, non-asbestos materials, red rubber, conveyor belting and hydraulic hose and fittings — with hydraulic hose and fittings alone accounting for roughly 35% of business locally.
Since the fire, Allied Hose & Belting Company, LLC, has been operating out of a 7,500-square-foot temporary space about 250 yards north on the same street at 145 N. Conalco Drive — down from 11,000 square feet at the original location — and steering a rebuild that will be finished – at the earliest – in February, 2027.
