Mineral Processing Solutions will now supply Astec Material Solutions fixed and modular plant, equipment, parts and service throughout Australia
Astec Australia has announced an expansion to the dealer agreement with Mineral Processing Solutions (MPS) to include its construction materials product lines in Queensland, Victoria and Tasmania.
MPS will supply Astec material solutions for fixed and modular plant, equipment, parts and service throughout Australia.
Under the terms of the new agreement, MPS will distribute all Astec fixed and modular crushing, fixed screening and washing equipment and systems, as well as material handling (Telestack) and breaker technology (BTI) products to all states and territories.
The move represents a significant development in the relationship between the two companies.
Astec’s regional managing director David Smale says Astec and OPS Group (MPS’ parent company) have forged a strong partnership over the years.
“In June, we announced that MPS would take over distribution of Astec Fixed and Modular equipment in NSW, with other eastern states to follow later,” he says.
“It is testament to the strength and success of the relationship between Astec and MPS that those plans have now been brought forward.”
Smale adds the partnership has also delivered significant benefits to customers.
“This new network will enable us to deliver parts more efficiently, reducing downtime and enhancing the operational efficiency of businesses.
“The MPS team’s extensive local market knowledge and experience in mineral processing – supported by Astec’s innovative technologies and manufacturing capability – has made MPS the perfect partner to deliver outstanding products and service.”
MPS already has a strong presence on the east coast, with well-stocked depots in Goodna (QLD), Rutherford (NSW) and Laverton (VIC), and experienced local sales and service teams able to provide a quick response to customers.
The company also boasts branches in Darwin, Perth and Adelaide.
“By combining Astec’s expertise in supplying high-quality equipment with MPS’s extensive distribution network, we are creating a robust channel that guarantees better service or exceeding relationships and expectations across the nation,” says Smale.
“I’m delighted to be making this announcement today and look forward to the positive impact this collaboration will have on our customers working alongside MPS.
“Such synergy will continue to strengthen our market presence but also set the highest standard for service in building the infrastructure of Australia.”
