Corum Group, uniting engineering assets of the SCM financial and industrial group, has signed a contract to supply 140 timbering sections for one of the leading Polish mining companies – Polska Grupa Górnicza (PGG) – by the end of this year, the press service of Corum has reported.
“This victory [in the tender] opens new opportunities for Ukrainian machine builders to integrate into the Polish market, which is in the sphere of interests of Corum,” the group said in the report.
For PGG, a new structure will be made, designed to work on seams of 1.8-3.5 meters in conditions of heavy roofing of mines in Poland due to high operating resistance – over 6,000 kN. The timbering will be used by the customer at the Sośnica mine.
“This is Corum’s first large contract for the supply of cleaning equipment to the Polish market. The local mines use the same Polish timbering, but PGG decided to entrust Corum with the manufacture of this complex type of mine equipment. The first sections will be ready late August,” the group said.
According to CEO of Corum Group Mykhailo Potapov, the Polish market is one of the most attractive for Corum, taking into account the reorganization of the coal industry of this country.
He said that PGG is actively involved in the restructuring of the Polish coal sector, accompanied by the enlargement of extractive enterprises in order to increase their efficiency.
