Händle still right on course for success in Algeria

» Commissioning a Händle type-E75a/70 de-airing-extrusion unit with a 700-mm barrel in combination with a type-MDVG 1025f de-airing double-shaft mixer

In business now for over 140 years, Händle has always been a global leader in the engineering and sale of clay preparation and shaping technology. In Algeria, the first Händle-built machines were installed in the late 1940s. To this very day, Händle maintains an intensive partnership with the company’s first Algerian customer, a highly reputed clay brick producer. At the moment, there are some 150 of Händle’s machines at work in Algeria, including everything from individual units to complete preparation systems. Indeed, three new preparation lines are in various stages of installation and commissioning in Algeria right now, and two more lines are scheduled for delivery within the next few months.

The permanent improvement and refinement of Händle products in terms of durability, minimized wear, low energy consumption and process optimization yield significant advantages for Händle’s customers, as reflected in their products’ excellent quality and their high production capacities, often markedly exceeding the agreed contractual obligations. Reliable adherence to projected planning, production and installation deadlines, coupled with quick amortization, impresses all investors. This high-quality policy is accompanied by a comprehensive service philosophy and personal, local customer support, be it an urgent case of spare-parts procurement, a service call for an installation or repair job, or just advice and guidance in connection with, say, a change in raw materials.

Having acquired ZMB Braun GmbH, a global market leader in extrusion dies with a broad array of products and solutions for the ceramic industry, Händle has rounded out their single-source, pit-to-die supply program – an advantage that many customers have been waiting for a long time.

No matter whether some customers prefer to engage a general contractor or to opt for an all-in solution directly from Händle, they can always count on high-quality products and services.
