Filling a Gap in Supply
Industry Insights
“In the coming years, the biggest challenge we have is the availability of human capital. Mongolia isn’t developing its population effectively and quickly enough to meet changing global factors. Due to this TM has established our Transwest Training Institute.”
David Turnbull, Managing Director, Transwest (Mongolia)
“We are in the process of supplying a multi-tool carrier for the underground mine development at OT, in addition to stationary boom breakers, an aggregate crusher, and a screener supplied to their rock quarry and concrete batch plant. A mine of the size of OT provides significant learning opportunities not only for its operators but also for many contractors and suppliers.”
Battsengel Sharav, Director, United Machinery
“We analyzed the details of the goods that are supplied through China and realized that the main problem for Mongolian logistics and transportation was the need to deal with chemicals and explosives, as well as oversized and overweight products imported by mining companies. We saw an opportunity to build our own logistics and transportation supply chain to provide more cost-effective, timely, and insured services to mining companies.”
Odgerel Byamba, General Manager Operations, Arvidah Yuruul
“InterAsia is a niche trader compared to global traders, focusing on copper cathodes, copper concentrates, and eventually other base metals such as zinc. In terms of our fuel business, InterAsia imports a significant volume of diesel into Mongolia from both Korea and China. Besides delivering fuel to mining customers, we offer financing and price management services.”
Pierre-Yves Rigaux, CEO, InterAsia Energy
