The Zest WEG Group has entered into a supply agreement with Lonmin Platinum, the world’s third biggest producer of platinum. “With existing supply agreements with Anglo American Platinum and Impala Platinum, we are thrilled to extend our market share in the platinum industry through this new agreement with Lonmin,” says Louis Kotze, Zest WEG Group’s area manager responsible for Rustenburg. “Zest WEG’s Rustenburg branch is now party to formal supply agreements with all three major world platinum producers.”

He explains that Lonmin Platinum was seeking to enter into an agreement that offered a low voltage motor standardisation supply strategy for IE2 (Premium Efficiency Plus) motors that would cover a complete range of low voltage cast iron electric motors ranging from 0,18 to 330 kW.
“The new IE2 WEG motor efficiency specification will allow Lonmin Platinum to meet its medium term low voltage electric motor energy saving objectives. Zest WEG is well known for its proven total cost of ownership (TCO) programme on low voltage motors and we believe a key motivation for Lonmin to enter into this landmark supply agreement was the prospective long term benefit.”
As a support function while the agreement was being formulated, Zest WEG assisted with motor repair specifications that allowed Lonmin to manage and standardise its repairs. Zest WEG also assisted with technical motor data details in order to streamline the SAP coding and commercial order process.
