Greater access to equipment for SA industry
In an effort to expand customer access to a range of industry solutions in South Africa and across the continent, Astec Industries recently acquired TerraSource Global (TSG) in a move that is said to boost the group’s capabilities in the aggregates, mining, power generation and industrial minerals sectors.
The TSG range of equipment includes crushers, feeders, separators, sizers, liquid and solid separation, dewatering and waste management solutions and encompasses brands such as Gundlach Crushers, Jeffrey Rader, Pennsylvania Crusher Elgin, Tabor Vibratory Screens, Norris Screen, CMI and CSI.
Expanding on the benefits for African customers, Astec chief technology officer Michael Rai Anderson says: “The acquisition brings new product categories to Astec’s portfolio, including specialised crushing and feeding systems for soft to medium-hard materials. TSG also introduces coal crushing, biomass and industrial materials handling solutions that expand Astec’s range beyond traditional aggregates.”
TSG products will now be fully backed by Astec South Africa’s established infrastructure for sales, service and spare parts, providing local customers with improved support. “The local availability of components and technical expertise enables faster turnaround and continuous operations, ensuring reduced lead times and increased uptime. The enhanced engineering collaboration means that customers will benefit from the combined R&D and technical innovation of both companies,” Anderson notes.
With Astec South Africa serving as the regional hub for all TSG sales, service and support, training programmes have been implemented to ensure that Astec’s local teams are integrated and fully certified on TSG’s portfolio of technologies. Anderson says that further skills development, service centre expansion and job creation opportunities are expected as demand grows and additional capacity and personnel are needed in the region.
