The business, which has opened new offices in a strategic location from which it can support customer operations across the whole of Turkey, has been working in the Turkish mining and aggregates sector for more than 20 years.
Based in Istanbul, the new 600m² sales and customer support centre will house a permanent team of Weir Minerals engineers.
Weir Minerals says the location of the new facilities will provide faster delivery of services and repairs and enable tailored regular service programmes, ensuring minimum operational downtime for Weir customers.
Stock will also be kept at the site allowing commonly ordered smaller items to be delivered rapidly to customer locations.
Weir Minerals supports some of the largest players in the Turkish mining and aggregate industries. Earlier this year it announced that it was working with Turkey-based contractor Tekfen, on an £10 million (€12.5 million) 200km-long pipeline project in Morocco.
Tony G Locke, managing director of Weir Minerals Europe, said: “Turkey is an important market for the future growth of Weir Minerals Europe. We’ve made a significant commitment to extend the level of support we can offer our Turkish-based customers through the new service centre, particularly in the case of operationally-critical repair and maintenance which we can now deliver more rapidly and efficiently.”
