Antofagasta, Chile and Waldwick, NJ/ May 10, 2017 — American mining manufacturers and suppliers are approaching Exponor 2017 (May 15 through 19 in Antofagasta) with a collective spirit of partnership and an open invitation to the industry buying community there to, “Ask America,” for the equipment, products and services they need to lead in the global marketplace.
Well into the second decade of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between the two countries (2004), the U.S., which will be honored as the designated “Guest Nation” at the show, has solidified its position as the top supplier to the mining industry in Chile, enabling the host country to maintain its leadership position among the world’s top producers and exporters.
“No person, no company, no country succeeds in isolation. Now more than ever, success in the global mining industry comes from partnership and teamwork,” said Tom Kallman, President and CEO of Kallman Worldwide, Inc., organizer of the U.S. presence at Exponor for the second consecutive edition of the show. Headquartered in New Jersey, the company also operates a staffed Latin American office in Santiago, headed by the former Chief of the Chilean Air Force, Gen. Ricardo Ortega.
“Despite the ups and downs of global markets, and an increasingly dynamic and competitive global mining economy, the strength and momentum of the U.S.-Chile relationship, accented by America’s ‘Guest Nation’ status, will certainly influence discussions and impact deals during the show,” said Ortega.
More than 60 American companies will be exhibiting in Antofagasta, the most of any participating nation outside of Chile, and the majority in Kallman’s new USA Partnership Pavilion located in the show’s Silver Pavilion hall. From specialized machinery, heavy construction and energy equipment to instruments, lighting and safety products, U.S. exhibitors at Exponor represent a wide scope of the nation’s most innovative and reliable exploration, extraction and processing solutions.
“At the moment of making strategic alliances you always want to have the best allies. In that sense, what better partner than the United States? They are a country where innovation is part of their DNA, and it is with them that we want to face the technological challenges that we have ahead, through the contact with their suppliers of products and services,” said Marko Razmilic, President of Exponor 2017 organizer, the Antofagasta Industries Association. “They are coming with the largest international delegation to Exponor, and we have high expectations regarding their participation in the fair.”
Whether they are publicly traded stalwarts or small- and medium-sized enterprises (SME’s), U.S. exhibitors are all looking to initiate or strengthen business relationships in Chile, either as prime contractors or subcontractors in support of in-country operators, service partners and their end-user customers, said Kallman. Many, such as DuPont, Flexco and Soltex already have a significant operational presence and equity stake in Chile.
“American mining companies are first-choice partners around the world because we listen, we invent and we deliver for our customers. The United States is committed to our trade and investments in Latin and South America, we bring smart ideas and innovations to the table and we have the best-trained professional workforce ready to do the job,” Kallman said.
