Mannheim, September 14, 2022
To honor the work and installed total output in Bangladesh by MWM distributor Kaltimex Energy Bangladesh (Pvt.) Ltd., Caterpillar Energy Solutions invited the representatives of Kaltimex Energy to Mannheim. The celebration of the successful cooperation was also accompanied by a renewal of the distributor agreement.
10-MW Project in Chittagong Laid Foundation for Partnership
The foundation for the successful long-standing cooperation between Caterpillar Energy Solutions and Kaltimex Energy had been laid with a 10-MW project in Chittagong back in 2000 which never got materialized. Seven years later, however, the installed total output of the MWM gas engines sold by Kaltimex Energy in Bangladesh amounted to 100 MWM, and in 2014 to 500 MW. Gas engines with a total output of 100 MW were sold and installed in 2018 and in 2021.
John V. Jacob, Director PT. Kaltimex Energy and CEO Kaltimex Energy Bangladesh, and K. K. Ralhan, Founder – Chairman Kaltimex Group and President Director PT. Kaltimex Energy, regard the 60-MW project for Precision Energy as their flagship project with MWM gas engines.
The project had been rolled out in 2009. Within three months, 15 MWM TCG 2032 V16 gas engines were shipped to Precision Energy, where they were installed by Kaltimex Energy. The plant generates a constant output of 60 MWel, all of which is fed into public grids. In 2010, the MWM film “60 MW Around the World”, which had been produced for this project, won the intermedia-globe silver award for the best film in the documentation/point of sale category at the World Media Festival in Hamburg.
“Trust, Value, and Service”: Caterpillar Energy Solutions and Kaltimex Energy Renew Distributor Agreement
To honor the work and implementation of projects with MWM gas engines, Uwe Sternstein, Head of Service & Parts at Caterpillar Energy Solutions GmbH, and Tim Scott, Director for MWM, handed over a “Certificate of Recognition” to the representatives of Kaltimex Energy as a token of gratitude for the 21 years of successful cooperation.
MWM distributor Kaltimex Energy believes in good customer service. In the event of a technical problem, a service engineer of Kaltimex Energy is on the customer’s premises within one hour on every day during the year. To enable this service, Kaltimex Energy in Bangladesh has 16 employees who take care of the spare parts business, 21 project engineers, and 93 service engineers. “In our communication with the customer, we always emphasize trust, value, and service”, adds K. K. Ralhan.
To further intensify the long-standing successful cooperation, Caterpillar Energy Solutions and Kaltimex Energy renewed the distributor agreement on the occasion of the visit to Mannheim, and they look forward to the joint rollout of future energy projects.
