Porter Group will be delivering the entire Edge portfolio of mobile and tracked stackers, tracked and mobile feeders, radial truck unloaders, roll-sizers, trommels, shredders and picking stations to the New Zealand market.
Edge Innovate managing director Darragh Cullen said “We are delighted to join forces with Porter Group of New Zealand who will have distribution rights for the entire Edge product range. Porter Group’s proven track record of delivery quality products with paralleled customer support mirrors that of our own organization. With an aggressive product development plan and a culture of continuous improvement, I believe that we can help Porter Group deliver real benefits and value direct to the customer’s doorstep”
“Edge Innovate engineers have gained a reputation for the creation of new and inventive solutions to age old problems. All of our products will bring considerable advantages to Porter Group’s customers and potential customers. Core products such as radial conveyors and tracked conveyors will help end users increase cycle times and improve production. Some of our new innovative solutions, such as the 360° Unlimited range will bring new concepts and fresh thinking to the mines, quarries and ports of New Zealand,” said Lee Williamson, Edge Innovate sales manager.
Darren Ralph, Porter Group’s general manager for sales and marketing, said: “The Porter Group is delighted to be representing Edge Innovate in New Zealand as the exclusive distributor. This product line adds another dimension to Porter Equipment as it not only complements the existing stable of new equipment perfectly, but also provides Porter Equipment the ability to customise and tailor make solutions for the many industries that it services. The versatility of the Edge equipment range and the engineering capabilities behind it aligns well with Porter Equipment philosophy of providing fit for purpose equipment solutions to the quarrying and mining, landfill and recycling and agricultural industries.”
