On September 1, 2023, Consulmet (Pty) Ltd (Consulmet) signed an exclusive distributorship agreement with Terex GB Ltd to sell Terex MPS equipment and spares in Namibia, Angola and Botswana.
With its traditional expertise in the design, construction & supply of metals and minerals processing plants, in and to remote locations, distributing and supporting capital equipment was a completely new business stream for Consulmet, which called for the establishment of a new division, Consulmet Equipment, to look after the Terex MPS business in the three Southern African countries.
Consulmet is taking a phased approach to the Terex MPS business. Initial focus has been placed on Angola, a market where the company will leverage the existing Consulmet project footprint and support resources to kickstart and expand its business. The next focus country will be Namibia, and eventually Botswana.
Instead of ‘jumping’ into the three countries at once, we have taken a decision to stabilise our Angolan venture first before we spread out into the remaining two countries. The decision to start with Angola was based on the good infrastructure and existing support structures and partners in the country. The next step is to develop our support network and infrastructure in Namibia and Botswana before we roll out in those two countries.
Second project
In October 2025, Consulmet Equipment successfully commissioned a second Terex MPS aggregate crushing plant in Angola, for a mining client wanting to produce their own aggregates for their civil works for a new minerals recovery plant they are installing.
Consulmet Equipment supplied a complete, 180tph aggregates plant that will produce three aggregate sizes. The complete plant consists of a WJ3042i wheeled vibrating grizzly feeder and jaw crusher unit, a WC1150S wheeled cone crusher and screen combination unit as well as all the necessary plant and product stockpile conveyors and surge bin with VSD pan feeder.
This aggregate plant was fully assembled, installed and commissioned, by the in-country Consulmet Equipment team, supported by Terex MPS, within three months of being delivered to site.
The holistic scope included the procurement, engineering, shipping from Terex MPS India to Luanda Port, Angola, transport of the plant from Luanda Port to site in Angola, assembly and installation of the plant, including the supply of reinforced concrete “sleepers” for the civils, and commissioning of the plant. The supply, installation and commissioning of diesel generators to run the plant was also included in the scope.
Consulmet Equipment’s scope further included the provision of all anticipated spares for the first year of operation of the aggregate plant as well as the operating and maintenance of the plant for the first year.
We are proud to mention that this project also benefits the local Angolan community.
Namibia project
Consulmet equipment are currently working very closely with a mining client in Namibia to replace their current fines crushing circuit with Terex MPS Modular Cone crushers with direct feed Surge Bins and VSD Pan Feeders.
The main benefit of utilising the Terex MPS modular systems, besides being a very cost-effective solution, is that they can be assembled, installed and commissioned with limited downtime and interruptions to the client’s current crushing plant and production.
Support matters
To ensure reliable customer support, Consulmet Equipment has deployed a fully equipped and trained team of technicians for installation, servicing, maintenance and refurbishment of Terex MPS and other Terex equipment. The team is supported by Consulmet’s local partners, which warehouses Terex MPS equipment and spares in Luanda, Lobito and Saurimo.
Once established with local partners in Namibia, Consulmet Equipment will deploy a local Namibian technical team for the installation, servicing, maintenance and refurbishment of Terex MPS equipment sold in Namibia and will also warehouse Terex MPS spares at strategic sites in Namibia.
