MAGNA, the Terex brand of mobile crushing, screening and conveying equipment established to meet the needs of large-scale operations, has appointed mineral processing solutions company MMD Mineral Sizing Africa (MMD) as its distributor for several countries across Southern Africa.

“This is more than just a new distributor announcement. MMD is a designer, manufacturer and engineering company in its own right, with a long-standing reputation for engineering excellence and customer-first service,” says MAGNA business line director Neil McIlwaine.

MDD’s decision to sell, support and service MAGNA’s complete lineup of equipment across Southern Africa is a “strong signal” that MAGNA’s machines meet the rigorous demands of large-scale mining operations, and that MAGNA’s commitment to customer support aligns with MMD’s, he adds.

MMD has long recognised Africa as one of the world’s most important mining markets, with large-scale operations demanding high-output, reliable equipment and responsive service.

In 2004, it expanded its manufacturing footprint beyond the UK by establishing a plant in South Africa, bringing production closer to industry. This move was driven by demand and a commitment to better serve customers in the region.

MAGNA is built for scale, designed to meet the demands of high-output operations of up to 1 500 t/h and backed by decades of experience and the strength of Terex’s brands.

“This is also a flagship moment as it marks the first time MMD will represent a Terex brand.

“Their choice of MAGNA reflects a shared belief in delivering robust, quality solutions, developed specifically for customers handling larger volumes and requiring superior output performance,” says McIlwaine.

With over four decades of innovation, MMD has helped shape the future of materials processing with custom solutions and proprietary technologies that are trusted across the mining, quarrying and recycling sectors.

From compact machines to large-scale mobile sizer stations, MMD’s expertise spans the full spectrum of operational needs for these industries.

“This collaboration brings together two brands that understand the importance of performance, reliability and customer service.

“We are excited to become part of the MAGNA distribution network and look forward to supporting our customers with machinery that’s built for the biggest challenges,” says MMD director Janis Lombard.
