Aftermarket developments in emerging regions
Weir Power & Industrial have secured
several aftermarket orders for services, spare parts and
replacement valves through its facilities in South Africa and the
Middle East.
The service orders are for plant outage work
at Kriel and Hendrina power stations in South Africa and Dugas in
the Middle East. The significant installed base of Weir
products in the emerging regions and increasing demand for power
plant extensions and upgrades has driven the requirement for
increased customer service support and spare parts. This has
increased requirements for replacement valve products including
repeat business for Maersk in conjunction with Prometal.
The Middle East operation recently secured
spares contracts for the refurbishment of the Kindasa Water
Services plant in Saudi Arabia. Andrew Will, Power & Industrial
Emerging Markets, sales & marketing director, said “The
availability of local aftermarket support for product overhauls,
spares and replacement valves gives Weir Power & Industrial a
real advantage in this active key region and is aligned with Weir
Group being a truly global supplier.”
