Sandvik Mobiles appoints new distributor for Mobile Crushing and Screening in Western Australia

Sandvik Mining and Rock Technology have appointed Porter Group in New Zealand as its new distributor for mobile crushing and screening equipment in Western Australia.

Sandvik has successfully been working with Porter Group for the sales and aftermarket support of its mobile crushing and screening range in New Zealand since 2009. As an established and reputable name throughout Australia for the supply of heavy equipment, we have now decided to appoint Porter Group as the Mobile distributor for the Western Australian territory. This move will benefit customers in Western Australia by offering more localized and customer focused support in their area.

Precisionscreen Pty Ltd, Sandvik Mobiles current distributor who are based in Queensland, will now focus in the Eastern territory and will continue to represent mobiles selling and provide service support in that area.

On the appointment Eugene Lyons, Global Sales Director for Sandvik Mobile Crushers and Screens commented “We are pleased to appoint Porter Group as the Mobiles’ distributor for Western Australia. Australia is a large territory and with the appointment of two such well-established and professional distributors, we will be able to offer more localized support and be in a better position to develop the market further.”

Darren Ralph, General Manager Sales and Marketing at Porter Group said “Adding the large and varied Western Australian region presents a great opportunity for us and serves to illustrate the close association the Porter Group has built with Sandvik over time. With Western Australia playing host to a multitude of quarrying, mining and recycling operations, Sandvik’s extensive model lines and robust reputation will prove a solid fit for many applications”.
