As the global demand for high-quality aggregates continues to rise, many producers are seeking ways to expand beyond their local markets. For companies in Mexico, tapping into the U.S. aggregate market presents enormous potential — but also unique operational and logistical challenges. Andamine’s AtoZ service model offers a comprehensive pathway to overcome these barriers. This case highlights how our APY4-57110S mobile crushing plant enabled a Mexican aggregate supplier to increase capacity, ensure product consistency, and successfully enter a new overseas market.
A Mexican Supplier’s Vision to Expand into the U.S. Aggregate Market
A construction materials company based in Monclova, Mexico, identified a lucrative opportunity in the U.S. market for river pebble aggregates. The local market had become saturated, limiting growth potential, while cross-border demand was increasing rapidly.
The client required a compact yet powerful mobile crusher plant capable of handling river pebbles up to 400mm in diameter and producing four output sizes within the 0–20mm range. The target capacity was set at 80 tons per hour (TPH). However, the company had never imported heavy crushing equipment before and needed full guidance on procurement, shipping, and installation.
Key Challenges: Overcoming Import Uncertainty and Operational Barriers
The project presented several significant challenges:
Limited Import Knowledge
The client lacked experience with overseas equipment purchases, customs clearance, and international logistics coordination.
Hidden Cost Concerns
There were uncertainties about potential additional expenses related to transportation, import duties, installation, and operator training.
Urgent Production Timeline
The company needed to begin production quickly to fulfill new contracts and avoid missing critical market opportunities.
Performance Reliability
The selected crushing equipment had to maintain consistent output and material quality to meet the standards of demanding U.S. buyers.
Andamine’s Comprehensive Solution: From Planning to Production
To address these challenges, we implemented a full-cycle service plan covering every stage from import to operation:
Guided Import Process
To overcome the client’s lack of import experience, we provided hands-on guidance throughout the entire import journey. Our team connected the client with trusted local customs and logistics agents, explained documentation procedures, and ensured full compliance with U.S. import regulations.
Transparent Cost Structure
To remove uncertainties about hidden costs, we offered a complete cost breakdown covering freight, taxes, installation, and training. This transparency allowed the client to plan budgets accurately and make confident investment decisions.
Expedited Delivery and Installation
Recognizing the urgency of the project, our company arranged fast-track production, shipping, and on-site setup. Through careful coordination, the mobile crusher plant was delivered and commissioned ahead of schedule, allowing the client to start production on time.
Reliable Equipment and Ongoing Support
To ensure stable performance, Andamine recommended our APY4-57110S 4-in-1 mobile crushing plant—integrating feeding, crushing, and screening functions, and equipped with both a jaw crusher and a cone crusher. This mobile crusher is known for its high efficiency, compact design, and precision control of output size. Our engineers provided both pre-shipment technical consultation and post-installation training, ensuring smooth daily operation and dependable long-term performance.
Shipping and On-Site Installation
Our shipment team closely coordinated the shipping schedule to ensure safe and timely delivery to Monclova. Upon arrival, our technical engineers traveled to the site to supervise unloading, assembly, and full commissioning of the mobile crusher unit.
Every installation step was carried out in accordance with the quality standards. Our engineers also provided detailed hands-on training for local operators, covering system calibration, output adjustment, and routine maintenance. As a result, the crushing plant achieved stable operation, ensuring immediate production readiness.
Outcome: Stable 80TPH Production and a Successful Entry into the U.S. Market
With Andamine’s complete technical and logistical support, the 4-in-1 mobile crushing plant now operates reliably, producing four sizes of high-quality river pebble aggregates at a steady rate of 80TPH.
This performance enabled the client to successfully supply aggregates for U.S. construction projects, expand their business scope, and enhance profitability.
