One such organisation is Karamjeet Singh & Company (KJSL), an ISO 9001:2000 certified organisation that was founded in 1975. Primarily engaged in overburden removal, excavation of coal and other minerals and ores, KJSL mines an average 20 million cu mt of overburden and coal for both public and private sector companies. From the very beginning, KJSL understood that the equipment used would play a critical role in their day-to-day operations because fuel efficiency, maintenance and safety are of paramount importance. In fact, fortunes are made or lost when these variables are at play! That is when Volvo CE became the preferred choice.

Support when you need it
Akbal Singh Bhullar, Managing Director, KJSL, minces no words when he says,?Mining is a tough business. When you are working 12 hour shifts with heat and humidity for companions and in extremely inhospitable terrain, you need a partner like Volvo CE whose machines are designed, built and supported in different ways.?

For a core mining company, after-sales service and ready availability of genuine spares and safety are of paramount importance.?With Volvo CE?s global support network dedicated to helping people accomplish more, one is assured of safety, comfort and productivity. As we like to put it: More care. Built in,? Bhullar observes. KJSL operates one of the most modern fleet of Volvo wheel loaders, excavators and articulated haulers like EC700, EC460B, EC480D, L90F, L120F, L120E, and G930. The complete range of Volvo equipment were introduced by SVP Mining Technologies, an exclusive dealer for Volvo CE in Chhattisgarh. With more than 150 highly qualified and trained engineering professionals with extensive hands-on experience in sales, marketing and after-sales support of machinery and equipment, SVP provides sound technical and economical solutions to their clients. In March 2014, KJSL has successfully completed 10 years of Customer Support Agreement with SVP at Jindal Open Cast Mines.

Designed to be efficient and reliable
The management team at KJSL reiterates that from the time they invested in Volvo machines, there has been no looking back for KJSL as the machines are designed and constructed to work together in perfect harmony for more effective loading and shorter cycle times. Moreover, they exceed the mining industry?s demand for dependability, serviceability, cost efficiency and safety. While the mining business often throws challenges out of the blue, KJSL is confident that Volvo is always on their side to meet them head on.
