Schenck Process is back on the market in Australia and New Zealand under a new name Qlar.
Since rebranding to Qlar in May 2024, the German-headquartered bulk specialist has a strengthened focus on driving circular transformation in the key industries of cement, steel, chemicals and performance materials.
The re-entry in Australia and New Zealand is based on the ending non-compete agreement with Sandvik.
After the market carve-out in 2022, every existing client of an installed Schenck Process solution in Australia and New Zealand can now benefit from the aftermarket, spare parts and maintenance services of Qlar and new digitally enabled and sustainable Qlar solutions.
In May 2022, Schenck Process announced the sale of its mining business to Swedish engineering group Sandvik AB.
This step also meant the temporary market exit in Australia and New Zealand. Now, Schenck Process is back in the industries cement, steel, chemicals and performance materials under the new name Qlar.
President and CEO of the Qlar Group, Jörg Ulrich, said Australia and New Zealand is an important market for the company.
“The Schenck Process brand, with its product portfolio, will remain as a product brand under the roof of Qlar that will drive future innovative solutions in the green and circular economy.”
Qlar Group director of agents & sales locations, Frank Thomasberger, said the Qlar Group aims to strengthen existing partnerships and renew cooperation with key players in the cement and steel industries.
"With Qlar, I am proud to open a new chapter," he said.
"Going forward, we will not only uphold the high standards of Schenck Process product quality and service excellence. By advancing the circular transformation process, we will also support our clients in overcoming the challenges of decarbonisation."
