Weir Minerals open new service centre in Turkey

Company extends level of support offered to growing customer base in the Turkish region

WEIR Minerals, specialists in pumps and processing equipment, have announced a significant investment in Turkey with the opening of a new dedicated sales and service centre to support their growing Turkish customer base.

The business, which has opened new offices in a strategic location from which it can support customer operations across the whole of the country, has been working with some of the largest players in the Turkish mining and aggregates sector for more than 20 years.

Based in Istanbul, the new 600 square metre sales and customer support centre will house a permanent team of Weir Minerals engineers.

The location of the new facilities will provide faster delivery of services and repairs, and allow tailored regular service programmes, ensuring minimum operational downtime for Weir customers. Stock will also be kept at the site allowing commonly ordered smaller items to be delivered rapidly to customer locations.

‘Turkey is an important market for the future growth of Weir Minerals Europe,’ commented Tony Locke, managing director of Weir Minerals Europe. ‘We’ve made a significant commitment to extend the level of support we can offer our Turkish-based customers through the new service centre, particularly in the case of operationally critical repair and maintenance, which we can now deliver more rapidly and efficiently.’
