MCHALE Plant Sales, the recently appointed UK distributor for Metso Outotec crushers, has chosen the Staffordshire town of Tamworth as the location for its first UK depot.

From there, the company will initially service Metso customers across England, Scotland and Wales with an additional outlet in Scotland set to follow next year.

Chosen for what the company says is its ‘strategic location’, the Tamworth base is situated on the Lichfield Road Industrial Estate where it will accommodate offices, machine storage, parts warehouse and a repair and maintenance workshop.

Sales director Denis McGrath said, “of the many locations we examined, Tamworth stood out as one from which we could reach-out to machinery owners and operators whose priorities in terms of technical back-up and after-sales support we fully understand.

“In Tamworth we will implement an approach to customer service proven in Ireland and Northern Ireland where sales, service and parts operate in lockstep.”
