FLSmidth is to expand its Australian ‘Supercenter’ in Perth, Australia, to double the facility’s warehouse and workshop from 5000m2 to 10,000m2.

The expansion will allow FLSmidth to further decrease costs and increase productivity for its customers. “The expansion will allow us to better support our installed equipment base and keep it operational allowing our customers to get the maximum productivity out of the machines through technical competency, rebuilds or upgrades,” Mark Clifford, Country Head Australia and Global Vice President, told International Mining. The expansion scheduled for completion in mid-2015.

The Perth Supercenter, now in its second year of operation, is one of six large service centres operating worldwide tailored to support FLSmidth’s customers with warehousing of critical equipment and spare parts along with rebuild and repair capabilities of components.
