MAGNA Expands in West Africa With PowerX as New Distributor

MAGNA, the Terex brand, has appointed PowerX as its new distributor for West Africa. Effective immediately, PowerX will provide full-service support and tailored equipment solutions to customers across the quarrying, mining and construction sectors in Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Togo, Benin and Nigeria.

“West Africa represents an important growth region for MAGNA and PowerX has built a strong reputation through its technical expertise, service capability and customer-focused approach. As MAGNA continues to expand globally, it is important that we work with organisations that can support customers throughout the life cycle of their equipment, and PowerX is an excellent fit for that vision.”

Said Neil McIlwaine, Business Line Director for MAGNA.

The appointment extends the reach of MAGNA’s high-capacity crushing, screening and conveying equipment into a region where investment in quarrying, aggregates production, infrastructure development and mining continues to create demand for larger-scale, high-output solutions.

“We see significant potential for high-capacity equipment across West Africa as investment continues in aggregates, mining and infrastructure development. Customers are increasingly looking for robust, productive machines that can operate efficiently in demanding environments, and MAGNA’s range is well positioned to meet those requirements.”

Added Luke Talbot, Managing Director PowerX.

PowerX operates in aggregate and mineral processing, serving customers involved in crushing, screening, washing and bulk materials handling applications. The company’s role will also include service support and customer relationship management across the region.

The first MAGNA machine, the MT6S mobile scalping screen, is already on its way to the region. Designed for large-scale quarrying, mining, construction and demolition waste, recycling, sand and gravel, coal, ore and aggregate applications, the MT6S can process up to 800 tonnes per hour.

The machine is equipped with a 6.1m x 1.83m (20ft x 6ft) screenbox designed to support high throughput and material separation. It can be fed by a mobile crusher, wheel loader or excavator, depending on the site setup.
