Martin Engineering has expanded its footprint in Central Asia after unveiling a new business unit in Kazakhstan.
The new business unit will be based in Almaty in the south-east of Kazakhstan, which is the country’s largest city and commercial centre.
Martin Engineering chose Kazakhstan to start the new business unit as it will help the company support customers in the mining sector across Central Asia.
Oleg Glukhov will lead the new business as general manager, who has worked with Martin Engineering for the past seven years.
“Kazakhstan is one of the world’s key sources of metals and industrial minerals,” he said.
“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.”
Kazakhstan is the world’s ninth-largest country by land area (approximately 1,000,000 square miles) and has a diverse geology comprising a rich array of metal ores and mineral resources. Consequently, mining and minerals production is increasingly important in the Kazakh economy, with most materials exported.
The announcement expands Martin Engineering’s presence in the country which has previously included delivering innovative conveyor belt cleaning solutions to one of Kazakhstan’s largest copper producers.
Martin Engineering’s business unit will provide a wide range of solutions including conveyor products to the country’s mining and mineral processing companies. This will include CleanScrape belt cleaners, versatile Orion SQC2S Secondary Belt Cleaner, and high-performance Air Cannons featuring SMART Series Nozzles.
Kazakh customers will also benefit from faster service response times, improved supply chain logistics and new product trials.
The full address of the new business is TOO Martin Engineering Kazakhstan, Abish Kekilbayuly 34, Bostandyk District, Almaty.
