[INDUSTRY NEWS] Hoffmans has earmarked the Americas,


Africa, Australasia, and parts of Asia as geographies of potential, where conveyor belts, cranes, stacker-reclaimers, excavators, and unloading equipment are among the heavy machinery being employed on a variety of mining projects. He has already implemented strategies to engage a select group of decision makers, much like Pintsch Bubenzer has achieved in other heavy-duty sectors. Joel Cox, president at Pintsch Bubenzer


USA, said: “It’s a noteworthy appointment because it states our intent in the mining sector, which is an area of great interest in my geography—and others across the world. Daiel will be addressing decision makers as a representative of their industry, versus someone working a mile wide but only an inch deep across many sectors. We have successfully introduced our braking concepts to a number of new sectors in recent times, but it always took market knowledge and the right personnel to achieve our goals, and in Daiel’s recruitment we are working from that blueprint once again.” Hoffmans has been working with Pintsch


Bubenzer products in numerous roles since 2005. He also brings a wealth of broader experience to the role, most recently in a management position at Faiveley Transport, a manufacturer and supplier of equipment for the railway industry, where he worked with Stemmann Technik GmbH, Gerken Group, Akapp-Stemmann BV, and TransTech. Prior to that he was in a sales role at Stemmann Technik. Hoffmans added: “I understand the


product range well and look forward to continuing its evolution in the mining industry. I’m particularly excited about exploring the prospect of increasing the modularity of our solutions. I have a history of working with high-end equipment, which will serve me well as I conduct site visits and learn more about the immediate and longer-term requirements of our existing and prospective customers.” Mining professionals will note Pintsch


Bubenzer’s recent launch of ibrake®, a multidimensional app, downloadable to cell phones and other smart devices, featuring a dashboard for users, maintenance videos, parts lists, technical drawings, lifecycle documentation, and access to 24-hour support. Parts can also be ordered through the app, which sends service alerts to customers. Users can utilize the app to scan digital barcodes, sometimes called quick response codes, to direct them to product information created by the manufacturer. y

Rope and Sling Takes Gold Sponsorship at LiftEx 2019


> Rope and Sling Specialists Ltd. (RSS)


will have a high profile at this year’s LiftEx, underpinned by gold sponsorship of the event, as organizer the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) marks its 75th anniversary. Having debuted as an exhibitor at the


2017 show at The International Centre, Telford, RSS has steadily enhanced its presence at the annual exhibition. It was also gold sponsor of last year’s event at the Marshall Arena, Milton Keynes, where its exhibit was well populated throughout both days of the show. The LiftEx community will return to the same venue on 13-14 November; RSS will take a 24 square-meter stand (number 38). LiftEx is in its 15th year, but the expo


and co-located events are in a brighter spotlight this time given LEEA’s anniversary celebrations, which take various forms throughout the year. Importantly, RSS’s gold sponsorship overarches the entire event that includes educational and technical sessions; presentations on innovation; a packed exhibition floor; and the LEEA Awards dinner. The association’s new enhanced awards


scheme was greeted by much fanfare in 2018. It offers members eight distinct categories for which they can enter. An independent panel of industry experts will judge the entries. Winners will be announced and presented with their awards during a gala dinner by TV presenter Rachel Riley, a celebrity guest speaker. Ross Moloney, CEO at LEEA, said:


“This will be a memorable and prestigious event, helping LEEA to celebrate our 75th anniversary. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our award category sponsors in addition to the event’s gold sponsor, Rope and Sling Specialists.” Steve Hutin, managing director at RSS,


said: “We’ve gained a lot of exposure out of the last two LiftEx shows, having visited to sample activity the year before that. It feels like this time there is greater energy around the event, given LEEA’s 75th anniversary celebrations and the success of the inaugural awards last year. It’ll be interesting to see how a return to the same venue—unusual for LiftEx—can build on what was achieved previously. The educational theme and safety-centricity of LiftEx aligns well with our company’s mantra and we had no hesitation in repeating an investment in one of the

prime commercial packages on offer.” Gold sponsorship offers RSS significant


promotion before, during, and after the event, including logo placement, advertisements on show literature, and branded water-bottles that will be distributed free of charge throughout the Marshall Arena. A representative of the company will also attend an exclusive editor’s breakfast on the morning of the second day, where journalists from the industry’s key publications will be given access to the event’s protagonists.
