Below, we review the history of GH Peru through a photo album that captures key moments, people and projects in the trajectory of the Market Unit
ZAMINE, OUR FIRST CUSTOMER
Initially we worked with distributors, thanks to which we identified the fact that it was a country with many opportunities. This sale to the company Zamine was the trigger for creating the Market Unit (MU) in Peru and establishing a physical presence there.
GOLD MINES
Shortly afterwards, we visited the gold mines of the company Barrick in Peru at Lagunas Norte (4,200 metres above sea level). Their premises already had 30 GH cranes that required maintenance. This customer was fundamental in promoting the technical support department in our MU. There we realised that the GH equipment was highly valued by the maintenance staff in the mines.
EXPANSION OF THE TEAM
The increasing workload meant that the MU needed additional staff, so the first recruitment cycle took place. Marlene Morales joined as administrative assistant and Dante Williams became our first technician. Both are still with us today.
LIMA METRO
Since 2016 we have been involved in the construction of the Lima Metro, an ambitious project that will transform transportation in the capital and that has positioned us as a key player in large-scale infrastructure projects.
STEEL SECTOR
Over the years, GH Peru’s relationship with the country’s two steel companies has been excellent. Aceros Arequipa and Siderperú are possibly the MU’s most important customers. We have a long-standing relationship with both companies, actively participating in their expansion, renovation and maintenance projects.
SHOUGANG HIERRO PERU
This project was carried out near the Nazca lines. It is a project commissioned by the Chinese company Shougang Hierro Peru, an example of the importance that Chinese capital has in the country.
NEW PREMISES
A year ago, we moved to the Megacentro in Lurín, a very good location, right in the middle of the Panamericana.
HANDOVER
In 2023, Yosu passed the baton to Fernando Mindreau in the general management. Fernando has been at the head of the GH Peru MU for a year.
ANNIVERSARY
On 11 October, the entire GH Peru team celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Market Unit, accompanied by a representative of the general management from Spain. Together we drank a toast to these ten years full of challenges and achievements, and to a future full of opportunities
