Russell Mineral Equipment opens new distribution centre and workshop in Chile

Toowoomba based Russell Mineral Equipment, an Australian company with more than 7 years of presence in South America, has established a new Distribution Centre and Workshop in Santiago, Chile.

Known as the world’s leading designer, manufacturer and supplier of mineral grinding mill relining machines and associated equipment, Russell Mineral Equipment’ new Distribution Centre and Workshop in Chile will meet the growing demand for service and maintenance in South America. Latin American mine sites have been world leaders in adopting the most advanced mill relining technologies, with RME Mill Relining Machines being used in Chile since 1998 at Escondida. Since then, Latin American mine sites have ordered various components of the unique RME Mill Relining System which are currently operating in Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Mexico, Panama, Ecuador, Dominican Republic and Suriname. This new Distribution Centre and Workshop will store and supply the most commonly required spare parts, and will be a base for some of RME’s service technicians providing maintenance and repair services at mine sites. RME's equipment is technically unique, and requires knowledge of a range of trade skills in diverse fields such as hydraulics, electrics, pneumatics, mechatronics and computerisation to effectively diagnose and repair any faults. Since initially establishing the subsidiary in Antofagasta in 2005, RME's ability to provide an enhanced service offering to South America has continued to improve. According to the Company Founder and Managing Director, John Russell (pictured above, right), the establishment of this new Distribution Centre and Workshop will improve RME’s service delivery because it will speed their logistic in this region. Chris Rodwell (pictured above, left), Trade & Investment Commissioner for the Americas for the Queensland Government and guest speaker of the celebration, highlighted RME’s steadfast commitment to the South American market as the reason of RME’s success in this region. Representatives from RME Australia, RME Chile and RME North America, Austrade, Queensland Government, and a number of the leading mining companies represented in South America attended the celebration of this opening in Chile. RME will continue to use its focus and experience to develop improvements and innovations that make grinding mill maintenance faster, more reliable and safer in South America and worldwide. ↑Return to Index

Peru proving popular tourist destination for Aussies

Peru has recorded the highest number of Australian travellers for the period January to June, with an increase of 23 per cent year-on-year compared to 2011. The rise in popularity can be attributed to “the accessibility with flights, promotion with the trade and many inspirational travel articles within the Australian media,” according to PromPeru coordinator for Asia-Pacific Rosana Guinea. “It is wonderful that more Australians than ever before are travelling to Peru to experience the diversity of product that is on offer,” Ms Guinea said. “As PromPeru we have been working in the Australian market for over four years with the main focus to educate and work with the trade to promote Peru and it is wonderful to see that numbers are on the rise.” Peru only experienced a one per cent rise in Australian travellers between 2010 and 2011. PromPeru and wholesale partners will be hosting a quiz night roadshow in Australia for agents next month. The roadshow will make stops in Melbourne on 2 October and Sydney on 3 October, accompanied by contemporary Peruvian band Novalima, who are in Australia to join the Pura Vida festival in Sydney. ↑Return to Index
