company | Mission Belt Co A few years ago, a great friend of ours in Panama named Luis Melendez was working a very strenuous job on the docks and not getting ahead. On top of that, he hurt himself and the company he was working for gave him his walking papers. We brainstormed with him for a couple weeks about what kind of business he would want to start. We first looked at pig farming and backed away from that after some volatility in the pork prices. Next we thought about getting a corn grinder to make feed for livestock. Finally, we noticed that there were really long lines for the buses into Panama City in the very community that Luis and his wife were living. So we shipped the bus from Panama City, Florida to Panama City, Panama. When we decided to update the belt and make the no-holes Mission Belt®, we knew we wanted to give something back with every belt. Since inception we have sold thousands of Mission Belts and as a result, thousands of dollars have gone to help hard working people who need a hand up.
