CDE Global sales director Enda Ivanoff said: “There is huge potential for our equipment throughout the Middle East & Africa and our successes in the region to date are evidence of this. Our new team structure will allow us to meet the diverse demands throughout the region by providing in market representation from a highly qualified technical sales team.”

Ruchin Garg is the CDE business development manager for the Gulf region. He will be based in the Middle East, where the focus will be to build the CDE project portfolio in the sand and aggregates market. “The plants that we have already installed throughout the region are delivering significant efficiencies for our customers by maximising material recovery, minimising waste volumes and allowing for the production of washed sand and aggregates which command the highest commercial value,” he said.

The company has found that the water recycling technologies it offers are a critical factor in the placing of new sand and aggregate washing plants in the region. “Our AquaCycle thickener recycles 90% of the water used in the washing plant which makes washing viable for a lot of people for whom water supply is an issue,” said Garg. “Our Combo unit combines the EvoWash sand washing plant and AquaCycle system to deliver a washing plant that can operate with a supply of only 20m3 per hour.”

In Southern Africa CDE is represented by Des Crawford, who has over 30 years’ experience in the global construction materials and mining industry and is responsible for building the CDE project portfolio across the construction materials and mining divisions. The company has recently established a number of new partnerships in Southern Africa.  “There are some exciting opportunities in the mining sector that we are currently exploring” said Crawford.

Ivanoff said that the company’s approach of working directly with the end user and offering custom-made solutions is a key focus as the global team continues to grow. “It’s critical for our customer base that they have knowledgeable CDE team members within their regions to develop the correct technical solutions.
