PERUMIN 36 will feature the participation of PRIMAX, the prestigious company supplying fuels and lubricants to the mining sector. This sector makes up 40% of the company’s sales and is the recipient of over 100 million gallons of diesel, according to the manager of Industries, Jesús De Los Ríos, who reveals PRIMAX’s value proposition for the mining industry in particular and the country in general.

What are PRIMAX Corporation’s expectations for PERUMIN 36?

We are a strategic supplier for the mining industry and are excited about participating in PERUMIN, an event that welcomes the leading companies in the sector and the entire logistics chain supporting the development of this industry, including PRIMAX.

This is the eighth time we have participated in this major mining convention. This time, we will present our value proposition for products and services, featuring advantaged supply, along with safe, reliable, and environmentally friendly operations.

What portfolio of innovations will you present at the mining convention?

PRIMAX is a company recognized for having the widest range of products and services in the market, including liquid fuels, gas, and lubricants, and for offering a reliable supply.

We are the only fuel supplier with an advantaged supply, thanks to our four supply sources and 16 supply terminals across the country, ensuring product availability for mining operations. This is a strength because we can continue serving our clients in times of scarcity or shortage due to external or internal factors.

Talking about products, Diesel Max-P stands out among liquid fuels. It is a fuel with additives that generates higher performance and fewer pollutant emissions. When it comes to lubricants, we are the macro-distributors for Shell, the number one brand worldwide.

How important is the mining sector for the company's business?

The mining industry is one of our most important clients within the B2B portfolio. We currently serve 45 mining companies nationwide. Of the total sales volume, more than 40% is attributed to the mining sector. It is an industry we supply with over 100 million gallons of diesel for various processes in their operations.

How does the company contribute to the mining industry’s productivity and sustainability?

Our vast experience and deep knowledge of the sector position us as leaders in mining operations. PRIMAX’s value proposition contributes to increased productivity, efficiency, savings, and sustainability for mining companies and industries in general.

The logistics system we provide to mining companies includes transportation from the fuel storage terminal to the operation site, adhering to the highest safety standards, which is crucial in transportation. We also manage gas stations within mining operations and provide assistance and technology solutions to help mining companies expand their storage capacity or modernize their stations.

Our commitment to operational excellence has earned us recognition from the country's largest mining companies, commending our best environmental, social responsibility, and occupational health and safety practices.

To date, companies like Hudbay, Gold Fields, Anglo American, Raura, Marcobre, Miskimayo, and Cerro Verde have awarded PRIMAX as a strategic supplier.

How much do you expect sales and production to grow within the mining market?

Our goal is to continue consolidating our position and share in the sector, maintaining our current customer portfolio. However, we also aim to continue growing sustainably through a comprehensive approach that includes commercial competitiveness, excellence in service offerings, and a commitment to sustainability. This year, we have added five new clients to our mining portfolio, including Sociedad Minera Corona S.A, among others

What are the new projects, innovations, or studies you are preparing for the mining industry?

We are dedicated to improving the service we provide to our B2B customers. That is why we are continually improving a platform designed to enhance the business experience. We are the only ones to have the 'PRIMAX Solutions' platform, which offers valuable insights into fuel consumption, maintenance standards, training, and provides our customers with a technological tool for tracking and getting real information on the services PRIMAX delivers for their mining operations.
