Metso and CDE are setting up a partnership that will see the two firms offering a comprehensive range of solutions for the manufactured sand market in India
The deal has been agreed between Metso (India) and CDE Asia Limited and takes the form of marketing cooperation in order to provide comprehensive manufactured sand solutions to customers in India. Metso’s scope covers the crushing and screening technology, and CDE Asia will provide the wet classification equipment required in the manufactured sand production process.
The agreement is in line with Metso’s strategy to strengthen its capabilities by extending its portfolio in cooperation with strong partners around the world. Working with CDE, the two firms will offer comprehensive high-quality end-to-end solutions for the important manufactured sand market segment.
“This new marketing cooperation agreement allows the customers to acquire the whole process easily, and at the same time forms a good platform for future growth for both Metso and CDE Asia in India,” explained Kamal Pahuja, vice president, Mining and Aggregates, Metso India.
“The cooperation agreement with Metso presents new opportunities for both organisations and has been well received by our customers. The combination of Metso’s and CDE Asia’s sustainable technologies produces well shaped, washed and graded manufactured sand, helping to replace natural sand, which is fast becoming scarce and expensive. This collaboration will benefit the sand manufacturers by providing best-in-quality graded sand and sustainable operations by reusing up to 95% of water used. By utilising normally low-value crusher fines for sand production, we can extend the life of natural resources and also add huge commercial value to our customer’s enterprise,” explained Manish Bhartia, managing director, CDE Asia.
The cooperation agreement between Metso and CDE Asia is restricted to marketing and development of common offerings for the manufactured sand market by pooling the companies’ expertise and knowledge. Both parties negotiate and sign the terms of contracts independently with the end customers, representing their respective companies only.
