2019: Durrans at GIFA 2019
After 5 successful „trade days“ the James Durrans Group could draw another positive balance. Through the present professional staff and many employees from all over the world, the Group was able to increase the number of visitors further compared to 2015.
Of particular note is the steadily growing worldwide expansion of Durrans. Through the cooperation with SASOL, one of the world’s largest energy groups and specialist in the liquefaction of hard coal, and the construction of a shaft kiln calcination plant in Sasolburg, South Africa, we’ve expanded our product portfolio with Procarb SG for the benefit of our customers.
Further, the Group is pleased to announce the signing of a licencing agreement between James Durrans and Sons Ltd and Pine Pacific Corporation, Thailand.
With the growing importance of the Thai foundry industry and with the intention to provide the highest level of focused service to the local foundries needs, Mr Ithinai and his team at Pine took the view that a purpose-built foundry coating production facility would be their next logical step in both expanding their service based business and complementing current production. It is envisaged that the facility will provide a fast route for new developments and adaptions to meet the ever-changing needs with the foundry community.
Finally, the exhibition was a full success for the James Durrans Group and the team is already looking forward to the next Gifa, most likely in 2023. We want to thank all of those who supported our appearance with logistics and other help!
