Cost-Effective Acquisition of Metso Crushing Equipment for an Aggregate Producer in Moldova
Heavy Machinery & Mining Equipment
Scope
Sourcing and procurement of crushing equipment (Metso crusher)
A Moldovan aggregates producer required a primary crushing unit to expand production capacity but faced capital expenditure constraints and long lead times for new equipment.
Our team identified a high-quality Metso crusher available through an industrial auction in Germany. We conducted technical due diligence, assessed equipment condition, coordinated inspection, and negotiated acquisition terms. In parallel, we managed logistics, export documentation, and delivery to the client’s site.
This project demonstrates how strategic global sourcing and secondary market procurement can significantly reduce capital investment while maintaining operational performance.
Results
- Acquisition cost approximately 30% of the price of new equipment
- Significant CAPEX savings while maintaining production-grade performance
- Reduced procurement lead time compared to factory order
- End-to-end execution: sourcing, technical verification, purchase, and delivery
