Martin Engineering, a leader in bulk handling solutions, has announced fresh expansion in Central Asia with a new business unit in Kazakhstan.
Based in the country’s largest city and commercial centre, Almaty, in the southeast of Kazakhstan, the new venture will act as a regional hub enabling the company to bring its full range of products and services to the fast-growing mining sector across Central Asia, it says.
The decision to establish a business unit in Kazakhstan builds on the Martin Engineering’s success in the country to date. That includes delivering conveyor belt cleaning solutions to one of Kazakhstan’s largest copper producers to maximise plant efficiency and productivity.
Now Kazakhstan’s mining and mineral processing companies have access to a broader portfolio of conveyor products, such as Martin’s CleanScrape® belt cleaners, Orion SQC2S™ Secondary Belt Cleaner and Air Cannons featuring SMART™ Series Nozzles.
Kazakh customers can also benefit from faster service response times, improved supply chain logistics and new product trials, as well as enhanced problem-solving services like Walk The Belt™ and tailor-made Foundations™ training for in-house maintenance teams, the company says.
The new business will be led by General Manager, Oleg Glukhov, who has worked with Martin Engineering for the past seven years.
He says: “Kazakhstan is one of the world’s key sources of metals and industrial minerals. Processing materials safely, efficiently and profitably is important, and that’s where Martin Engineering comes in – our market-leading products and services are proven to solve materials handling challenges for the world’s biggest mining and minerals companies.”
