 Atlas Copco has inaugurated its distribution and training centre in Bijaynagar, Rajasthan. This is a dedicated facility for Hindustan Zinc Ltd.
This facility was inaugurated jointly by Markku Terasvasara, President, Atlas Copco Mining and Rock Excavation Service Division; David Shellhammer, President, Atlas Copco Underground Rock Excavation division; and Laxman Singh Shekhawat, VP and Unit Head, Hindustan Zinc Ltd.
Hindustan Zinc Ltd. is a prestigious client of Atlas Copco and has ordered a large fleet of machines for its existing and new underground mines. When HZL decided to expand its operations and induct new mining equipment, Atlas Copco agreed to provide 24/7 support for these machines. This implies that Atlas Copco would maintain the machines which HZL operates. This support would cover 25,000 hours of operations or 5 years. To deliver on its promises, Atlas Copco felt a strong need to have a set-up closer to the customers.
This facility has a well-stocked distribution centre for parts and consumables manned professionally round the clock.
Atlas Copco has also invested in state-of-the-art simulators for training operators of drilling and loading equipment. This training centre also has a well-equipped conference room for business meetings and discussions.
“In the establishment of the distribution and training centre, Atlas Copco has taken a step ahead in their endeavours to be partners in progress with Hindustan Zinc Ltd. With strong values like innovation, interaction and commitment, Atlas Copco constantly strives to build long-term relationships,” says Markku Terasvasara.
