Leading comminution and separation process solutions provider, IMS Engineering is on the expansion trail. The firm has recently completed renovation of 4 783m² office space in a building adjacent to its current premises. The various IMS departments took occupation in January 2015.
In addition, the IMS Engineering state-of-the-art test plant, which is possibly the most comprehensive crushing and sorting test facility in Southern Africa, has also expanded to include jigging and near infra-red test sorting capabilities.
This brings to 6 693m² (building) and 12 955m² (land) the total area now occupied by IMS Engineering.
IMS communications manager, Penny Höll, says that IMS has experienced remarkable growth over the past five years both from a sales and footprint point of view as well as having substantially expanded their product range with the addition of the Steinert and allmineral range of products.
“This growth has put pressure on our physical facilities and so the expansion of the premises and the test facility allows IMS Engineering to service its customers more effectively,” says Höll.
She adds that importantly IMS has everything “under one roof” enabling it to demonstrate a full operational process to its mining customers as opposed to a single portion of the process. He said this helps when they are demonstrating effectiveness of their “matching the machine to our customers’ specific material” principle.”
IMS Engineering is one of the leading companies specialising in comminution, briquetting, compaction, separation and sorting solutions for the mining and mineral industries.
