German slurry pump deal for Weir Minerals

Weir to supply and service three Warman heavy-duty slurry pumps to Meichle und Mohr

WEIR Minerals have secured a two-year contract to supply and service three heavy-duty slurry pumps to Meichle und Mohr – a sand, gravel and concrete producer based in Immenstaad, in southern Germany.

Meichle und Mohr operate in the region between the north shore of Lake Constance and the Black Forest, extracting sand and gravel and producing ready-mixed concrete and other related products.

The slurry pump units – all from Weir Minerals’ Warman range – will drive wet processing and the transportation of gravel.

The contract win is the first agreement to be secured with a German business since the launch in September 2011 of Weir Minerals’ new service centre in Essen, providing customers in Germany with a permanent servicing and supply base to enhance service and after-sales support.

Hansbert Hellstern, technical plant manager with Meichle und Mohr, said: ‘We selected Weir Minerals based on the proven track record Warman pumps have for product lifespan and ease of maintenance.

‘The launch of the new service centre in Essen also gave us complete confidence in the availability of spare parts and maintenance support.’

Marcus Hessling, service manager at the Essen service centre, said: ‘Meichle und Mohr is a well-known supplier within the German construction industry and this win adds a strong name to our portfolio of customers in Germany.

‘We are continuing to expand our business rapidly in the aggregates production market within the region, and the recent opening of the permanent service base is playing a key role in this.’
