Stuart Named New Head of Southern Africa Facility

Fabian Stuart as been named the head of mineral processing and mining for Haver & Boecker Niagara’s Southern Africa operation. Stuart will help grow Haver & Boecker Niagara’s presence in the majority of the African continent by increasing the productivity of operations.

“My goal is to build relationships with clients and show them how Haver & Boecker Niagara can help maintain and optimize their equipment,” Stuart said. “While providing our clients with top-tier solutions for their processing needs is a priority, we also want to demonstrate how we can be a collaborative partner and consultant first with our PROcheck service program.”

Stuart brings more than 30 years of industry experience to his position, starting his career as an electrical apprentice for PPC Cement and working his way into management. Next, Stuart worked 13 years with BME Group, a partner with Haver & Boecker Niagara, first as a client liaison and then as a leader in the parts & service department. Following this role, Stuart served 10 years as the head of operations for Haver & Boecker Niagara’s Southern Africa team, bringing his total years of experience in the machinery division to 23.

“This new role is a natural extension of his decade-long leadership of the Southern Africa team and extensive managerial experience,” said Clayton Carvalho, managing director of Haver & Boecker Niagara’s Brazil operation. “Serving as a client liaison as well as a managerial executive for Haver & Boecker Niagara makes Stuart well-equipped to understand customer needs from their perspective and offer a tailored approach to potential solutions.”

One such custom approach that Stuart will assist customers with is Haver & Boecker Niagara’s comprehensive PROcheck service program. The program applies Haver & Boecker Niagara’s expertise in diagnostics, processing equipment, engineered screen media, original parts, rebuilds and upgrades, services, plants and process engineering to inspect customers’ screening processes in order to recommend best practices for processing proficiency. An evaluation can be completed quickly, and, if necessary, even while equipment is operating. All observations and recommendations are recorded in a comprehensive report — known as a PROcheck — that is available before the Haver & Boecker Niagara representative leaves the site and focuses on recommendations for optimized screening.
