The new facility includes a customer service office; a workshop for maintenance, repair and assembly of Warman pumps, Cavex hydrocyclones and Isogate knife-gate valves; and a warehouse holding strategic equipment and spare parts under Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) contracts.
The supercentre in Kazakhstan will support Weir Minerals’ customers in the region, including Uzbekistan initially.
“This £1 million investment is core to our localisation strategy and we will continue to invest to support our ambitious growth plans in Central Asia,” said Carola Schulz, managing director of Weir Minerals NATCA. “We have a very close strategic partnership with our customers in Kazakhstan; and we have recently been very successful with new projects in Uzbekistan.”
