What is your idea on the prevalent market trend and give us a brief view on the potential it has for creating demand graphs?
There has been a stark rise in the demand for crushing and screening equipment in India, owing to a rise in the infrastructure projects like roads, bridges, highways, railways, airports, affordable housing irrigation, ports, RMC, metro rail, power (i.e) nuclear, thermal, solar, wind, hydro, gas based, real estate and other community buildings, maintenance works of demolition and solid waste management. Crushing and screening equipment are common in the above-mentioned sectors and is also mostly used by the mining industry to carry out operations like the crushing of rocks, etc. A study done recently says that the world mining equipment sector can grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 7.9 per cent between 2016 and 2022, to reach a value of over US$150-billion by 2022.

Speaking about the partnership, Mr. V.G. Sakthikumar, Managing Director of Schwing Stetter India said, “Signing this partnership with Rubble Master is yet another milestone in Schwing Stetter’s successful track record of equipping global businesses to branch to newer territories and attract prospective customers.

Speaking about the partnership, Mr. Gerald Hanisch, Managing Director | CEO of Rubble Master HMH GmBH said, “Our mobile crushers are ideal, especially in terms of versatility and the long distances in India – a good solution for the sustainable development of the country. Our products complement the Schwing Stetter range perfectly. Schwing Stetter’s concrete plants mainly use aggregates and sand. Our product range will complement the concreting equipment in India and offers a complete solution. Large quantities of natural rock are processed to produce building materials. Our machines can do a great job here.
Recycling is also already being used in the road construction sector which is another possible application for mobile crushers. The distances between each job are enormous and often the destinations are difficult to reach. Here we have a decisive advantage with our compact mobile crushing machines, which can be transported quickly. The compact crushers can be transported at any time and without the need for special permits. Operated by remote control, they remain mobile even during operation and can be moved easily from one place to another even through difficult terrain”.
