€1m CDE PLANT SOLVES A STICKY PROBLEM

- 11th July 2008
- Quarrying
A new €1m CDE sand washing plant in Estonia is producing high quality building materials from what had previously been a waste product. The plant was purchased to process material that was simply being stockpiled as waste as a result of the high clay content. This same material is now being sold on the Estonian building materials market as high quality, fully certified sand and aggregates.
Eoin Heron, CDE's European Sales Manager says "The quarry has been stockpiling this material for 50 years, since the quarry began operations, and in this time they have not been able to find a system capable of processing it. We are delighted to be able to say that our plant is proving to be a great success."
The new plant, supplied by the County Tyrone company is located in Estonia's capital, Talinn in a quarry operated by the country's largest producers of crushed limestone products, Paekivitoodete Tehase (Limestone Products LLC).The plant was officially unveiled last week at a gala ceremony attended by many local dignitaries, environmental bodies and industry representatives. Guests also included the British Ambassador to Estonia, Peter Carter.
CDE won the contract for this new plant in partnership with their recently signed distributor for the region, Baltem. The CDE plant is the first of its kind in Estonia and marks the birth of new sand processing technologies in the region.
Commenting on the introduction of this new technology, the Chairman of Limestone Products LLC, Vladimir Libman said "Our company has developed a reputation for innovation which has been the foundation of our success in recent years. The introduction of CDE's technologies to Estonia is the latest example of our commitment to the development of our business through the adoption of the best systems available to us."
Speaking at the event, CDE' Sales Director, Enda Ivanoff said "We are very grateful to Mr Libman and his company for providing us with this opportunity to introduce our systems to the market in Estonia. We will continue to work together over the coming months and years to ensure that this plant continues to perform at the highest possible level, thus guaranteeing increased revenues for the company."
This latest international project is a further sign of exporting success for CDE, who were awarded the ‘Excellence in Exporting Achievement' award by the Institute of Export recently. Since the beginning of 2007 the company has supplied equipment to a long list of new markets including Estonia, Poland, the USA, Trinidad, Bahrain and Turkey.
"We began to look at the development of our export business in 2004 and since then we have made significant progress" states CDE's managing director, Brendan McGurgan. "As well as the new markets we have developed in the last 18 months, we also have some well established markets in various countries in The Middle East as well as an office an manufacturing facility in Kolkata, India set up in May 2007 to service this region."
