In the competitive realm of quarrying, the journey towards success is often riddled with obstacles. However, for CMT Group, a civil business established in 1966, each challenge presented an opportunity for growth and innovation.

The superior reliability and output of Keestrack crushers aligned perfectly with CMT Group's vision for efficiency and productivity. Equip2's commitment to after-sales service further solidified the partnership, guaranteeing prompt support and maintenance whenever needed.
