Neighbour companies Polysius, a leading engineering company for the cement and mineral industry, and Haver & Boecker Machinery Division and Wire Weaving are especially pleased about a recent award. Their subsidiary companies were named as the best suppliers of production equipment and process technology by the world's second largest mining company, VALE corporation (more than 50,000 employees worldwide).
Emphasis was not only placed on the high quality of the products, but also on social aspects, Written on the Brazilian IDF Prize 2010 awarded by world's largest iron ore exporter: "We hereby attest that the companies have a high standard of delivery and share one of VALE's core values: "Respect for life."
Both companies have been working for decades in the highly challenging world of mining. Polysius has had close relations to the Brazilian mining concern since 1977. So far Polysius has delivered 30 grinding mills to various mining locations throughout Brazil. Here raw materials such as iron ore or copper ore are unlocked. The latest order includes the delivery and installation of two grinding plants at a copper mine in northern Brazil.
Haver & Boecker successfully made its debut in Brazilian iron ore processing in the early 1980s. An order for 18 de-watering machines from Companhia Vale do Rio Doce - the name of the Rio de Janeiro-based company back then - was the breakthrough. Business relations were especially intensified over the last two years. Before the financial crisis, VALE requested bids for screening machines in order to find a screening solution for both rainy
seasons and drought seasons. Haver & Boecker Latinoamericana took advantage of the financial crisis and carried out extensive tests and so convinced VALE with its eccentric screening machines. Convinced by the quality, the mining company closed a long-term contract and thus making the Brazilian HAVER daughter company the main supplier of the vibrating screening machines for large mining operations. Now this business development has been crowned by the IDF Trophy award.
