Superior Industries deepens relationship with Kimball Equipment

Superior Industries, a US-based manufacturer and global supplier of bulk material processing and handling systems, has announced an expanded product partnership with its long-term conveyor dealer, Kimball Equipment Company.

The respected dealer, which celebrates 75 years of operation next year, will now sell, service and support Superior’s crushing, screening and washing equipment in addition to the conveying equipment and components lines throughout Utah, Nevada, Arizona and southern Idaho.

“Kimball Equipment is a well-respected company and we’re honoured they’ll represent our growing line of aggregate processing and handling equipment,” Jarrod Felton, President of Superior, said. “Together, we’re both excited to serve customers with the region’s best application advice, robust stocking plans and most efficient customer support.”

The relationship between dealer, Kimball Equipment, and manufacturer, Superior Industries, started in 2004. Since then, the Salt Lake City-based dealer has sold almost 1,500 Superior conveyors and thousands of idlers, pulleys and conveyor accessories, according to Superior.

Kimball Equipment offers an extensive inventory of new and used heavy equipment, parts and supplies, repairs and rebuilds, field service and engineering capabilities.

Superior looks to capture global market share with AMPCO Minerals tie-up

Superior Industries says it has signed a new partnership with AMPCO Minerals that will lead to the design and manufacture of a complete line of bulk material processing and handling equipment for customers outside of North America.

The investment into the China-based manufacturer of crushing, screening, washing and conveying equipment furthers Superior’s vision of growing a global brand, it said.

Jarrod Felton, President of Superior Industries, said: “Whether it’s application advice, service response or manufacturing efforts, our goal is to be closer to our customers. This partnership allows us to continue improving our results for them.”

Working in a new purpose-built factory in Shanghai, Superior intends to design and manufacture this line of bulk material processing and handling equipment for customers outside of North America.

“This is an investment in a team whose core members each have more than 30 years of experience developing crushing and screening technology for our markets,” Felton said. “They are accomplished professionals that people in our industry know and trust.”

Meanwhile, the Shanghai-based production facility will improve responsiveness, reliability and quality of Superior’s North American supply chain. US and Canada-based plants will have new access to a dependable, high-quality chain of supply partner for select crushing and screening components, the company said.
