Eriez Flotation Division (EFD), a global leader in advanced flotation technology, has announced the opening of a new sales and engineering office in the Surco District of Lima, Peru. This office will support existing customers in Peru and the group says it will serve as the base “for executing a number of exciting new flotation projects that have been recently awarded.”  EFD already has offices in Australia, Brazil, Chile, Canada and the US.

 Jose Giovanni Concha has been selected as Deputy Director of the Peru office. With a degree in chemical engineering and a masters degree in metallurgy, Jose brings extensive experience in mineral processing,  equipment sales and business administration to our new Peruvian office. EFD’s products include column flotation technology, a highly efficient, low-energy alternative to conventional flotation machines and other flotation-based technologies for the recovery of ultra-fine and coarse materials.  EFD gas sparging systems can be used in mineral processing and hydrometallurgical applications for bubble generation as well as a wide range of industrial gas injection applications.

According to EFD’s Global Managing Director Eric Wasmund, “We are excited to have a home base for our activities in Peru.  Peru is a major mining centre with tremendous opportunities for state-of-the art flotation technology, expertise, and hands-on support. We look forward to working closely with our customers to insure their success.”
