Furlan products stand out at mineral fair in Chile
Share
Máquinas Furlan was highlighted at one of the most important global fairs in the mineral sector, Expomin. The industry was part of the group of 12 Brazilian companies that participated in the show, held in Santiago (Chile).
The quality of the company's equipment and parts is in line with the expectations of the Latin American markets – including Chile, the region's leading mineral producing country. This quality increases the possibility of new business with Latin American countries.
Sales Manager Gustavo Furlan, Engineer Marcos Fernandes, from the Sales Support area, and Janaina Brito, Business Coordinator, represented Furlan. The event took place between April 24 and 27 of this year.
Gustavo highlights the constant search for innovation within Furlan. A new British model, under development by the company's New Product, Services and Applications Development Engineering Department (DNPSA), already includes features requested by the mining companies presented at the fair.
Expomin has been taking place for 33 years. This year, more than 70,000 professionals from 35 countries served as attendees. The national participation was supported by the Brazil Machinery Solutions (BMS) Program, a partnership between the Brazilian Machinery and Equipment Industry Association (ABIMAQ) and ApexBrasil.
"Expomin is a showcase for companies in the sector. As it is one of the largest mining events in Latin America, there are great opportunities to increase the visibility of products and close promising deals", says Patrícia Gomes, Director of External Markets at ABIMAQ.

. Furlan at international fairs
"Our main objective at Expomin was to seek new business and expand the exposure of our brand to the South American and Chilean markets in general. In this way, we gained new customers and new local distributors, expanding our market share."
. The most sought after products at the fair
“Exhibitions of this size show us how the market is doing. The products that were most in demand at our stand were cast spare parts and crushing equipment, including the mobile crushing plant. The mobile plant has already generated good business for Furlan on the continent, such as the units sold to Paraguay.”
. The Furlan portfolio on the international scene
“Our products are compatible with the mining industry in other countries. However, there are always new opportunities. In Santiago, we felt that there was a crusher model that could also be sold in the domestic market. Even before the fair, we started a project, led by DNPSA, to have this machine in our portfolio in the next 18 months.”
. Mining in the region
"Chile is, without a doubt, the largest mining representative in South America and one of the largest in the world, which gives the fair great importance and visibility. This attracts visitors and exhibitors from all over the world. Customers who have already purchased from Furlan in Chile, Argentina and Brazil were in our state, and are talking to potential customers from Chile, Argentina and Peru."
. Market trends and mineral sector
“At Expomin, we saw that the machinery sector has good expectations for 2023, and most Brazilian exhibitors felt that the economic sector is well developed. However, we need innovations, as the fair brought technologies that are already known to the market. As for mining, we can see that the market is showing signs of growth for the year, even if it faces difficulties imposed by crises and governments. Companies in the sector are seeking to invest, regardless of government funding, and are counting on the private sector for this growth.”
. Trade relationship between Brazil and Chile
“We received a visit at our stand from representatives of the Brazilian Embassy in Chile, who indicated that they will work to ensure that trade relations between the two countries grow. There is the possibility of a joint project with the Brazil-Chile Chamber of Commerce, which would connect with ABIMAQ to promote business rounds and facilitate trade. The project aims to introduce new partners and assist with important bureaucracy.”
