New Kazakhstan business unit for Martin
Bulk handling solutions specialist Martin Engineering, has expanded in Central Asia with a new business unit in Kazakhstan.
Based in Almaty, in the South East of Kazakhstan (the country’s largest city and commercial centre), the new venture will act as a regional hub enabling Martin to bring its products and services to the fast-growing mining sector across Central Asia.
Kazakhstan in Central Asia is a key producer of minerals that are exported worldwide
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 playing an increasingly important role in the Kazakh economy with most materials exported.
The decision to establish a business unit in Kazakhstan builds on the Martin Engineering’s success in the country to date. That includes delivering innovative conveyor belt cleaning solutions to one of Kazakhstan’s largest copper producers to maximise plant efficiency and productivity.
