INDUSTREA has announced its appointment by Australia’s Marathon Tyres, a subsidiary of Alesco Corporation, as the distributor in China for its RL (rubber liner) Insertion Machines and RL run flat Inserts, adding to Industrea’s range of leading mining productivity and safety equipment.
The Brisbane-based mining services group says the exclusive agreement signed with Industrea’s China subsidiary Wadam Industries is for a three-year period through to September 2012.
Manufactured in Newcastle by Marathon Tyres, the reusable rubber inserts featuring internal honeycomb tubes of air, offer significant benefits to the mining industry by eliminating flat tyres, increasing mileage and reducing the risk of accidents.
Industrea Managing Director and CEO, Robin Levison, says the company anticipated strong demand from its clientele of leading Chinese underground coal producers for the new product, which would further strengthen Industrea’s market leadership.
Levison claims the group is delighted to have been appointed the exclusive agent in China for this innovative Australian-made product, which is already being used by several Industrea clients benefiting from the group’s specialist flame and explosion-proof underground mining vehicles.
