Australian Mining reported that FLSmidth will realign the global group from July, with focus on the mining and cement industries. The organization announced last week it would focus on the two industries, supported by a regional setup that would aim to strengthen customer focus and lifecycle solutions, combined with a new central digital organization.

FLSmidth’s plan will realign the organization from four divisions into the two aforementioned industries. From a country perspective, it will deliver an agile regional structure, according to FLSmidth.

With end markets recovering, Group Chief Executive Mr. Thomas Schulz said FLSmidth’s customers were accelerating to invest in productivity enhancing and digital solutions.

Mr. Schulz said that “To support our customers’ growth, the two industries, cement and mining, will deliver integrated productivity offerings through the regions.”

Mr. Schulz said that “Our decentralized organization will give us a strong point of entry to offer our customers key products, shorter delivery times and a strong service setup.”

The two industries will be supported by seven regions: Australia, North America, South America, Europe, Russia and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and Middle East, Asia, and Subcontinental India.

According to FLSmidth, the regions will drive customer relations, sales and service for both industries. A central digital organization will drive an enhanced, unified approach to digitization.

Mr. Schulz said this new way of working was a natural step forward for FLSmidth.

“We already have one of the strongest brands in the cement and mining industries. By enhancing our service level, investing in digitization and bringing stronger life-cycle offerings to the market, we will expand and grow our wallet share with targeted customers.”
