CRUSHING SCREENING AND RECLAMATION
A new Manufacturing Centre of Excellence is set to open its doors
at the Granville Industrial Estates in Dungannon, Northern Ireland
this month to house additional production for the McCloskey range.
The new site will deliver increased assembly and production space
for the crushers, screeners and stackers, as well as the new washing
systems range.
The new building and site represent a £7-million investment into the
business, and is expected to deliver 50% increase in production over
the next 3 years.
The new site will also house the production for new business
division McCloskey Washing Systems (MWS), focused on washing
and classifying across multiple applications. The new unit designs
and manufactures a full range of mobile, modular and static material
and mineral washing equipment.
Also contributing to the company's growth has been its
commitment to after sales service and support. Two new Parts Hubs
have recently opened their doors to serve customers around the
world, one in the United States, and the other in Northern Ireland.
The Milwaukee, Wisconsin parts and service depot offers same day
air or ground dispatch throughout the Americas, while the. facility in
Coalisland serves Europe and an expanding worldwide market. The
dedicated sites allow for expedited delivery of parts regardless of
physical location.
McCloskey has also expanded to support its growing crusher
business with the acquisition of Milwaukee
Crusher, based in Wisconsin. The site serves
as a dedicated crusher repair facility, with the
ability to rebuild and repair all makes of crusher,
portable and stationary, as well as provide expert
crushing system analysis and advice.
“Accelerating sales of our equipment show
that the quality, reliability and durability of
McCloskey products is increasingly recognized
around the world, and important to our
customers," said John O'Neill, VP, sales for
McCloskey International.
"As important for McCloskey is the
relationship after the deal is done, and the
opening of facilities to continue to support our
customers with parts and service allows us to
provide both quickly and effectively."
Between 2008 and 2012, the footprint of
the facilities increased by over 50%, with five
new buildings and production areas in Canada
alone. 2017-2020 will see more expansion
to accommodate demand, including the new
Manufacturing Centre of Excellence
in Dungannon.
In addition to its physical expansion, the
company has continued to add new international
dealers across all regions to represent the
number of new products that were added to the
company's portfolio.
The over 30% growth has resulted in a
network of close to 100 dealers in virtually every
region of the world from South America to South
Korea, Alaska to Australia.
Reflecting back, Paschal McCloskey,
President and CEO of McCloskey International
noted "three years ago we had 65 dealers, and
our goal was to grow to close to 100. We have
achieved that goal, and continue to work to
expand our reach, and our markets, worldwide.
There have been many contributors to our
success, but one of the greatest is the loyalty of
our customers worldwide. Their commitment to
our products is the engine behind our growth."

GROWTH
Screening and crushing industry leader McCloskey
International has continued its expansion over
the past three years, with close to 35% growth
overall, increased market share, major investments
in its manufacturing facilities, and the introduction
of a new division. In lockstep with this growth
was the addition of over 30 dealers to the global
distribution network.
