MBE-CMT News Update: Global Teams - Moscow
How we came to build the World’s widest jig and why our own company should be welcomed to MBE-CMT Global family soon.
Our office continues to work as an MBE-CMT representative. Currently there are 3 employees supporting the Cologne team in its sales, execution and commissioning activities.
The review meeting in June made the decision to establish our own company in Russia. This is a very important step towards better access to the market and particularly to the local currency market. It is crucial to getting more control over the after-sales market for our products and the supply of auxiliary equipment to our process lines. Moreover, clients request service contracts for our supplies. The registration is in progress and will hopefully be completed by the end of October. This means that we have to recruit for the regional support and service as well.
With respect to current projects, we recently received the acceptance protocol for process equipment which we supplied to Stepnoij. This was a full process line for a coal preparation plant with a Batac Jig. Thanks to all the people involved in this job.
At present, we are manufacturing a Batac Jig for the coal preparation plant Kirowa. With a width of 8 m., it will be the widest jig ever built.
There are several projects underway that should lead to contracts within this financial year. They are diverse in mineral and territorial aspect: coal beneficiation for anthracite coal, test work successfully executed for potash together with AKW, test work for Phosphate beneficiation in Kazakhstan. Just recently we received the Pneuflot testing sample for a copper ore in Kasakhstan.
The opportunities are there and it is our short term aim to contribute to the global MBE-CMT order intake of €5 – 10 m. per year.
