ESCO Asia Pacific managing director Jeff Kershaw said the Rutherford centre was a crucial step forward to directly serve Australian customers with the company’s quality products and support services.
The equipment maker will supply a range of gear for open cut mines in the region, including its full line of ground engaging tools featuring its trademarked tooth systems, along with buckets and related wear parts.
ESCO Rutherford will also host a complete range of manganese-rich steel crusher products, bi-metallic wear buttons and blocks, plus sell new ESCO truck bodies.
ESCO sales director for Australia Steve Lennard said the company looked forward to serving key Hunter Valley operations with robust customer support and immediate access to its products and services.
