Under the terms of the agreement, Korund will handle the distribution of Metso’s aggregates solutions in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. Meanwhile, Metso will continue to serve minerals segment customers through its direct sales and service network.
The partnership enables Korund to sell Metso’s comprehensive range of crushing and screening equipment, wear parts, screening media, and related services, including warranty support. This collaboration will see Metso’s advanced solutions complemented by Korund’s deep technical expertise, market knowledge, and established presence in the region.
Carlos Padim, Vice President, Distribution Management EMEA at Metso, welcomed Korund to the network, highlighting the distributor’s reputation in the industry. “We are very happy to welcome Korund to Metso’s network of distributors. They come with a strong team of professionals in the construction equipment industry in Central Asia, good knowledge of crushing and screening equipment, and a good reputation among all key customers in the region,” he said.
Dr. Valentin Bereza, founder of Korund Group, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “For Korund, the agreement provides a great opportunity to offer customers reliable and unique Metso solutions and equipment. We are very happy to represent Metso in the Central Asia region.”
