china wants australian mine safety equipment

I thought I'd change the thread heading as the last one seems to have some bad juju attached to the price action:))

Nothing overly new in the article below, supplier of choice by the Chinese sounds great though:



China wants Australian mine safety equipment, Industrea appoints new distributor
27 October 2009
INDUSTREA has announced its appointment of Wadam Industries as the distributor in China and Mongolia for Filter Technology Australia filtration systems, adding to the company’s range of ‘best of breed’ mining productivity and safety equipment in the world’s top resources market.

The global mining products and services provider says the exclusive agreement is for a three-year period through to October 2012 for the filtration technology in the mining, construction and heavy equipment industries.

Filter Technology Australia’s filtration systems are manufactured in Newcastle, NSW, for use in hydraulics, final drives, gearboxes, engines and fuel delivery systems. The filtration systems are capable of reducing particle contamination by up to 90%, thereby reducing maintenance costs, increasing the availability of heavy equipment and extending component life.

Industrea Managing Director and CEO, Robin Levison, says Industrea expected strong demand from its clientele of leading Chinese coal producers for the system.

Levinson claims Industrea has become the supplier of choice to the Chinese underground coal mining industry for advanced mining and productivity and safety equipment, and we are delighted to add these innovative Australian-made filtration systems to our suite of products.

He says this technology will also open the door to new industry sectors for Industrea, allowing the company to further leverage the investment in its Chinese product support centre established earlier this year.
