Winning Over a 60-Year Industry Vet: APY60’s Triumph in Mendoza, Argentina

What does it take to convince a 60-year mining industry veteran—used to European top-tier equipment—to trust a Chinese brand? For ANDAMINE, it was the APY60 model 4-in-1 mobile crushing plant, and a partnership built on professionalism. Here’s how we won their trust (and business) in Mendoza, Argentina.

The Project & The Stakes

Our client? A renowned Argentine aggregate producer with 60+ years of expertise, alongside their agent—a trusted distributor of Wirtgen and Kleemann. They crossed oceans to find a mobile crusher for their new green mine: one that could handle complex materials, integrate pre-screening/iron removal, and cut down on equipment costs and transition time. For ANDAMINE, this was more than a sale—it was a chance to prove we belong in the global high-end market, where European brands long held sway.

The Challenge: Proving We’re More Than “Another Option”

This wasn’t a casual inspection. The team arrived like “examiners,” picking apart welding, materials, and controls—asking sharp, expert questions that tested our entire manufacturing culture. Worse, they had a natural caution toward Chinese high-end gear, shaped by years of relying on European brands. We needed to speak their language: solutions.

From “Exam” to Trust: How APY60 Won Them Over

We ditched generic demos and turned their visit into a technical dialogue. Our engineers walked them through the APY60’s 4-in-1 mobile crusher plant design—pre-screening, jaw crushing, impact crushing, and iron removal, all in one unit—tailored to their exact working conditions. We highlighted its modular flexibility, intelligent PLC control, and dust-suppression features that met their green mine standards. Instead of saying “we can do it,” we showed “how we’ll optimize for you.” Slowly, the skepticism faded; professionalism bridged the gap.

The Win: More Than a Crusher, a Trusted Partnership

By July 2025, after months of deep technical collaboration, they chose the APY60. This order meant far more than a sale: it was a stamp of approval from industry experts, a showcase for our South American expansion, and the start of a true partnership—no longer buyer-seller, but problem-solvers together.

For ANDAMINE, Mendoza proved one thing: “Made in China” wins trust with hard, client-focused expertise. The APY60 isn’t just equipment—it’s proof we can stand with the best, and deliver for even the most discerning clients. For you, too—whether you’re tackling a green mine project or complex crushing needs—we’re ready to earn your trust, one tailored solution at a time.
