YEREVAN. – There is a growing interest in Armenia toward the products of Caterpillar Incorporation, the world’s biggest mining equipment company, Zeppelin Armenia company’s president Heiko Kreisel stated on Tuesday at a seminar being held in Armenia’s Kajaran city.  

The Zeppelin Group international company is the exclusive representative of Caterpillar Incorporation, and, approximately 5 years ago, it opened a representation in Armenia. And over the course of those years, the company sold 30 units of mining equipment to Kajaran Copper-Molybdenum Plant alone, and now Armenia’s other mines have also shown an interest toward the company’s products. In addition, Armenia’s iron mines are planned to be operated exclusively with American equipment.        

In his interview with Armenian News.NEWS.am, the Kajaran plant’s Director of Transport Department Ruben Abrahamyan confirmed that Caterpillar’s equipment made it possible to increase the mine’s efficiency by 25 percent, and, as a result, profits plus taxes paid to the sate have grown.
