Turkish firm E-MAK is boosting its presence in terms of exports, including the competitive European market. Around 80% of the firm’s asphalt plant solutions are now exported, with Europe being a key target. The firm has supplied plants to Spain and most recently to the UK, with the latter in the process of being commissioned.
The company is also planning to open new offices in Europe, which will also offer sales and service facilities for its customers in this market. In addition, a new factory is planned in Turkey that will allow the company to further expand its production capabilities to meet anticipated demand.
Meanwhile, E-MAK has high hopes that its Challenger range will help European customers to meet sustainability requirements. With its enclosed aggregate storage concept, the Challenger can reduce the heating requirements during the asphalt production process significantly. And with reduced heating needed, this slashes fuel costs while also making major cuts in CO2 emissions by as much as 30%, allowing customers to meet the increasingly tough environmental regulations governing asphalt plants in Europe.
