Sandvik Construction Mobile Crushers and Screens Hosted Their Inaugural Global Distributor Conference with 75 People from Almost 50 Distributors Worldwide Taking Part.
The programme of events took place from 12th – 15th January and consisted of an agenda of keynote sessions and workshops held at the Slieve Russell hotel in Ireland followed by an impressive product display at their new Centre of Excellence in Ballygawley, Northern Ireland.
The event provided the opportunity to bring together their global network of experienced distributors to discuss key areas of business growth in 2015 and to ensure that the preferences and requirements of their global customer base continue to be met and exceeded.
The final day of the conference saw their guests being transported to the new Centre of Excellence in Ballygawley. This impressive site is their major hub of manufacturing for mobile equipment in the UK and guests were taken on a tour to fully appreciate the modern production facilities and the complete manufacturing process from start to finish.
Across from the centre was an outstanding product display of eight machines from their market leading range of mobile equipment of jaw, cone and impact crushers, screens and scalping equipment. The display represents only a fraction of the product portfolio available but showcased some of the bestselling models from the range all built and developed to meet the needs of Sandvik’s global customer base.
Crushers on display included the bestselling QJ341 jaw crusher, the largest in the Sandvik Premium range of tracked jaw crushers, the innovative QH331 Hydrocone and QS331 “S” type gyratory cone crushers and the high performing UH440i cone crusher from their HD range of equipment. The hanging screen system, an optional feature of the QI341 Prisec impactor was also showcased. The hanging screen allows customers an even greater return on investment through the facility to produce accurately sized products for immediate use.
From their range of pioneering screening solutions the new QA441 Doublescreen was a major attraction as the largest two deck tracked mobile screen equipped with Sandvik’s patented, world class Doublescreen. This unique system has two high velocity screens working independently to each other offering both primary and secondary screening on one plant. Customers benefit from exceptional flexibility and massive throughput.
Distributors were also introduced to two new additions to the Premium range to be launched later this year, the QE441 scalper and QA335 Doublescreen which utilise the very latest in screening and scalping technology.
Eugene Lyons, Global Sales Director for Sandvik Mobiles commented on the event “We were delighted that so many of our global distributors were able to attend our conference in Ireland. This event provided the perfect platform to share our goals and vision, and to be open and honest about our targets for 2015 so we can work to grow the business together”.
Overall, the conference represents not only Sandvik Construction’s commitment to its distributor network and their mutual success but also reinforces its position in the marketplace as a key manufacturer of mobile crushing and screening equipment. The Centre of Excellence represents a step forward for the business with a continued commitment to quality, service and equipment designed and manufactured with customers’ needs in mind.
