US addition to CDE Global partner programme
Texas-based McCourt & Sons Equipment Inc to represent full range of CDE washing and classification equipment
MATERIAL washing specialists CDE Global have announced that McCourt & Sons Equipment Inc have joined their global sales network.
Based in La Grange, Texas, McCourt & Sons have more than 65 years’ combined industry experience in the supply of sand and aggregate processing equipment. In addition to their headquarters in La Grange, the company also covers Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The agreement will see McCourt & Sons Equipment Inc represent the full range of CDE washing and classification equipment.
Commenting on the partnership, CDE’s regional manager in North America, Joel Prince, said: ‘McCourt & Sons is a name associated with quality equipment, excellent customer service and, above all, a capability to work with customers to identify issues with their existing processing plant and develop a system that improves efficiency.
‘This matches our own approach to the design and execution of successful materials washing projects and we are very excited about the opportunities that will present themselves as a result of our new partnership.’
Over the last 12 months the two companies have been working together in North America on a number of projects and there are currently five in production which are due to become operational over the next two to three months.
‘We expect 2015 to be a very significant year for CDE in North America, explained Joel Prince. ‘The work we have done over the last 12 months has seen us win a number of new projects that will give us significant coverage across the US and will be the catalyst that will allow us to maximize the opportunity that exists for our equipment in North America.’
CDE Global’s founder and president, Tony Convery, was closely involved in developing the relationship with McCourt. He said: ‘When we’re looking for new partners there are some key characteristics that we look for – significant industry expertise in the materials washing arena, technical capability, strong customer networks, a great reputation and the ability to provide our customers with best-in-class service and support. The team at McCourt & Sons ticked all these boxes.’
McCourt & Sons decided to approach CDE having looked at their product range and project portfolio around the world, and having identified a number of opportunities for the introduction of CDE’s washing equipment range in North America.
‘From the introduction of the EvoWash sand washing plant to existing operations to large turnkey projects, the potential for CDE equipment is huge,’ commented McCourt & Sons’ president Paul McCourt.
Another key factor for McCourt & Sons was the modular nature of the CDE equipment range. ‘We believe that the CDE equipment range has been designed to meet the specific requirements of today’s industry – it’s quick to set up, integrates several processing phases on to a single chassis, requires minimal space on site and is built to last. This is what our customers are looking for with the equipment they invest in, said Mr McCourt.
CDE Global and McCourt & Sons will be organizing a live demonstration event in Texas during August 2015. Further details about this event will be published on the CDE website over the coming weeks.
