MDS, a manufacturer of heavy-duty rock trommels and conveyors, has confirmed the appointment of Kurimoto as its first distributor in the Far East as part of ongoing global expansion plans.

Effective immediately, Osaka-based Kurimoto will represent the MDS range of heavy-duty materials processing equipment and be responsible for providing sales, service, and support for MDS products throughout Japan.

Having already been a Finlay distributor, MDS will be the second Terex brand represented by Kurimoto.

“We take great pride in becoming a distributor for MDS and offering their exceptional products to our customers,” said Yoshio Yanagida, Kurimoto general manager. “There is great potential for MDS throughout Japan, which had recycling trommels, regular screeners and scalpers but was missing mobile heavy duty trommels. With the introduction of MDS, we will be able to better process overburden in quarries as well as in demolition concrete waste.”

Raheel Qamar, business development manager, MDS, added, “We are excited to welcome Kurimoto to the MDS family. Entering the Far East market is a pivotal moment for us, and we believe that Kurimoto is the perfect collaborator to help us reach and serve customers in Japan, which is renowned for equipment that is high-quality. Their dedication to excellence and deep local knowledge of our industry makes them an invaluable addition to our global network. I look forward to working closely with the team to build and develop MDS across Japan.”
