FINLAY has supported Australian-based OPS Screening and Crushing in the manufacture of a vivid pink machine with the aim of supporting the country’s National Breast Cancer Foundation.
OPS commissioned a Finlay 883+ heavy duty screen in breast cancer’s recognisable pink colour, destined to join the firm’s rental fleet. A portion of the revenue generated from the rental of the machine will be contributed to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
“At OPS we have long aspired to undertake a project of this nature and seeing it come to fruition fills us with immense sense of pride.” said Shane Czerkasow, director at OPS. “Our objective is to align with NBCF’s mission by contributing to breast cancer research, working towards their five-year vision of zero deaths from breast cancer.”
Joe Donnelly, regional sales director for Finlay, added, “When OPS approached me with this idea, I was more than happy to support it. Cancer has impacted the lives of countless individuals in one way or another, and this initiative provides us with a great opportunity to make a positive difference. A big, bright, pink machine is not something you’d often see in our industry so I’ve no doubt it will be a talking point on the various rental projects it will be involved in.”
Finlay said that manufacturing such a distinctive machine would not have been possible without the dedication and collaboration of all parties involved. This included securing parts in the distinctive pink colour to ensure on time delivery for production.
Donnell and Ellis transport carriers provided a specially branded truck for the journey to Southampton, where Terex global RoRo partner Wallenius Wilhelmsen facilitated its sea voyage to Western Australia.
Matt Dickson, business line director for Finlay, commented, “I would like to thank OPS Screening & Crushing Equipment for coming to Finlay with such an innovative approach to citizenship. Finlay is not just a team that excels in business, but a team that cares about making a meaningful impact in the lives of others. From the initial planning stages to today, where we see the pink 883+ standing in all its glory, our team poured their enthusiasm and hard work into making this vision a reality.”
