Mine ventilation specialist, TLT-Turbo Africa has accelerated its global growth with the signing of six new major clients while retaining 20 existing clients who have submitted new orders to be filled in the year ahead.
TLT-Turbo Africa has secured orders from six new major clients in the copper, platinum, and gold sectors for the supply of mining ventilation equipment. These include clients based in Australia, USA, and Kazakhstan. The contracts continue TLT-Turbo Africa’s successful track record of delivering advanced, efficient, and high-performance surface, underground and auxiliary mining ventilation solutions both in Africa and globally for almost two decades.
Closer to home, TLT-Turbo Africa has retained 20 clients in mining, mineral processing and the automotive industry – pre-dominantly based in the sub-Saharan region. “These clients return to us based on the performance of our products and the ways in which they have enhanced their operations and reduced their operational costs. This coupled with our service delivery track record, continuous customer engagement and competitive pricing has helped us to secure returning revenue from clients who have become more like partners to us over the years,” comments Vusi Madlopha, TLT-Turbo Africa Head of Sales and Business Development.
According to Madlopha TLT-Turbo Africa has maintained and expanded its market share despite the challenges presented by the global Covid-19 pandemic. “We’ve focused on our strategy on increasing sales and maintaining the quality of our product offering. Our strategy also included growth into new territories outside Africa using the global network of our parent company; TLT-Turbo GmbH. 2021 posed unique supply chain challenges that affected the whole world. Our internal processes allowed for efficient use of limited resources to produce quality products for our customers throughout the year.”
“Over the last few years, TLT-Turbo Africa has meaningfully scaled our core portfolio of mining ventilation solutions, invested in the research and development needed to advance our technology, and enhanced our customer consultation and care culture. We have listened to our clients and the faith they have in us is echoed in the respect we have for their expertise and input. The fact that our clients continue to come back to us proves their confidence in the next chapter for TLT-Turbo Africa,” TLT-Turbo Africa Managing Director, Christo Gelderblom asserts.
Future developments will include Mechanical Vapour Recompression and expanding into new applications.
