Aumund opens St Petersburg office with technical seminar

Aumund relocated its representative office in Moscow, Russia, to St Petersburg in August, opening it up with a technical seminar attended by over 50 participants. The invited organisations represented a wide spectrum of applications in the bulk material handling of cement, lime and gypsum, amongst many other industries.

"The fact that the participating project institutes came from different branches of industry made the discussions and the exchanges of experience particularly interesting and enduring, because particular industries have established their own completely different technical solutions to similar technological challenges. The opportunity to learn from each other was recognised by all participants as a positive outcome, and everyone expressed the wish that such Aumund seminars take place on a regular basis", explains Dr Nikolai Velten, sales director, Aumund Fördertechnik GmbH.

Presentations were delivered by Aumund Fördertechnik, Schade Lagertechnik and Samson Materials Handling on the various solutions provided by the companies. Development of logistics, particularly in ports and terminals, as well as the transition to more ecological closed storage systems, will be among the highest priorities in Russia in the next few years, according to an Aumund press release.
