PRESS RELEASE
19 February 2025, Copenhagen, Denmark
In 2025, leading mining technology and service supplier FLSmidth will open or expand seven service centres in strategic locations across the globe. These facilities are in direct support of FLSmidth's CORE'26 mining strategy that includes targeting service growth, and adds to the company's already comprehensive global network of service centres that can enhance mining customers' productivity.
New facilities will open in Accra, Ghana; Surabaja, Indonesia; and Dammam, Saudi Arabia, whereas the current operations in Mackay, Australia will relocate to a larger facility. Expansions are planned in Parauapebas, Brazil; Karaganda, Kazakhstan; and Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Operations in each of these new locations will begin within the coming months with official opening details to be announced locally at a later date. In addition, an expansion of the service centre in Chloorkop, South Africa is already ongoing and will be completed in 2026.
Christian Fabry, Head of Professional Services at FLSmidth, comments: "Our service centres serve primarily as workshops for improving or repairing customer equipment and can also have warehousing capabilities for distribution. With these new openings and expansions, we further strengthen our service capabilities and best-in-class service offerings to customers. We can do that by shortening the operational down time for customers thanks to the service centres' strategic proximity to mine sites and greater availability of spare and wear parts to local customers."
