Lining specialist expands African footprint
Weir Minerals Africa rubber products manager Ronald Govender says lining systems and lining options for the piping industry were limited in the past; however, he said, the company enters this market with high-quality lining products designed to provide a low cost of ownership due to lower maintenance and a longer service life.
Weir Minerals is currently working on piping projects in Africa and Europe, Govender says. "We are making the piping industry a focal point for the company, concentrating mainly on quality, service and support. The Weir Minerals Linatex range of products offers the customer more efficient piping applications with extended service life," states Govender. Following its growth in the rubber industry, Weir Minerals has invested significantly in the improvement of the manufacturing processes of Linatex, which has outgrown its current facilities, and will soon be moving into the Weir Minerals facility in Alrode, Gauteng.
"The acquisition of the Linatex group of companies by Weir has provided opportunities to expand the Linatex business into territories that were previously untapped by the company. Govender tells Engineering News. "With a focus on the customer base in Africa, we have grown the company and established branches in South Africa, Zambia, Ghana, Zimbabwe and Botswana. We are looking to open a new branch in Mozambique in the near future," he concluded.
