Aramine names FORAMEC as official partner in Turkey with first order of 13 machines
Aramine is proud to announce its new strategic partnership with FORAMEC, now the official distributor of Aramine equipment, parts, and services in Turkey and surrounding regions.
This collaboration is already delivering tangible results: multiple customer engagements have led to a surge in orders, including a significant milestone – a two-year delivery program of 13 underground mining machines for a major lead and zinc mine undergoing a large-scale modernization project. The performance and innovation embedded in Aramine’s technology were key factors in securing this long-term deal, with the first two machines – a L350D loader and a T1601C truck – already en route to the site.
“At Aramine, we are committed to excellence and customer centricity,” says Stefan Ischi, Director of Network Development at Aramine. “We are delighted to welcome partners like FORAMEC who share these values. This ensures that customers across all regions receive the same high standard of service and innovation that Aramine is known for.”
FORAMEC joins the Aramine distribution network as a trusted and experienced partner with deep local knowledge and a customer-focused approach. This alliance enhances proximity and responsiveness in servicing regional clients, offering tailored solutions that align with operational goals.
“Our partnership with FORAMEC represents more than distribution – it’s a shared vision to support mining operations with high-performance equipment, sustainable solutions, and agile after-sales service,” added Ischi. “Together, we guarantee optimized productivity and equipment uptime for all our customers.”
To be ever closer to its customers, Aramine is actively expanding its international network and relies on its distributors and subsidiaries who possess deep understanding of their local markets.
The French company now boasts 80 business partners across 5 continents, operates 3 subsidiaries, collaborates with 21 distributors and generates 60% of its turnover through indirect sales – a clear testament to the strength and reach of its global distribution strategy.
