Separation equipment supplier Eriez has opened its newest office in Perth, replacing its long-time sales representative organisation Western Process Equipment (WPE) with an Eriez-owned and operated sales and service centre.
WPE served Eriez customers in Perth for more than 50 years, particularly in the mining and minerals processing industries.
Eriez’ Western Australia office will continue supplying a range of equipment to the mining, recycling, and food industries.
Eric Nelson, Eriez Vice President of International Operations and Business Development said the new centre would expedite the turnaround time for repairs in the region.
“The Service Centre can handle suspended electromagnets, wet drum separators, eddy current separators ad other larger pieces of equipment,” he said. “We will build upon the foundation that WPE established and add new capabilities going forward that customers will appreciate.”
Long-time WPE employees will continue their roles as part of the Eriez Western Australia office, and WPE Founder Brian Packer will serve as an Eriez consultant.
James Cooke, Eriez Australia Managing Director, said the company was grateful to the WPE team for its dedication to Eriez’ customers.
“Brian and his team have become entrenched in the mining industry over the past five decades and played an instrumental role in developing the drum separator technology for the mineral sands industry, which helped Eriez become a global leader in developing rare earth rolls,” he said.
