Polysius in Peru Service Center commences work.

Polysius del Peru, as it has been named, is the youngest member of the Polysius Group.

On 13 September, 2007, the Service Center opened doors in Matarani for the very first time, not only in order to start production, but also to celebrate the inauguration.

More than one hundred representatives of politics and the industry, as well as customers operating in the minerals industry accepted the invitation.

The decision to build the Service Center was made in 2005. The decisive factor was the signing of a long-term service contract with a Peruvian customer.

Customer is King

The construction activities began in April, 2007.

The business of the Service Center consists of maintaining and manufacturing machines and components for the mining and cement industry in the South American region.

The Service Center is fitted out with a great variety of machinery and equipment, such as an electric overhead travelling crane with a lifting capacity of up to 220 tonnes and a vertical boring and turning mill where workpieces of up to100 tonnes can be machined. All machines are CNC controlled and even complicated profiles can be manufactured in such a way that they fit exactly. Regarding its technical equipment, the Service Center is thus one of the most state-of-the-art manufacturing workshops in Peru. The location of the Service Center is also very favourable: In its immediate vicinity, there are a maritime port and a highway junction to a highway leading to Brazil. The large ore mines of Peru and Chile are not far away either.

Thanks to the Service Center, Polysius will be able to meet the customers' requests for shorter delivery times. By enhancing the service activities, Polysius not only strengthens its commitment to the increasingly important minerals sector, but also avoids a drain of production-relevant know-how.
