60 >MAN FERROSTAAL CELEBRATES 50 YEARS IN COLUMBIA: A COUNTRY WITH SPECIAL MARKETS Columbia is the country in Latin America in which MAN Ferrostaal has gained the strongest foothold and in which the company’s reputation is best established. After 50 years in the country, Columbia is now considered to be one of the company’s “traditional” markets. In Columbia, MAN Ferrostaal operates in fields that the company has pursued to the same degree in almost no other country in the world, notably the pump business. For decades, people in Bogotá, Columbia’s capital, said that every drop of water that came out of a pipe had passed through one of the pumps delivered by MAN Ferrostaal. Of course, sometimes it didn’t come because the completion and maintenance of the water supply for a city of 5 million people presented extraordinary challenges to the suppliers and technicians. FIRST SUBSIDIARY OPENS IN BOGOTÁ On 2 December 1955, MAN Ferrostaal opened its first subsidiary in Bogotá in an office in the city centre. Herbert Jendrach, Managing Director for 24 years, left his stamp on all of the activities he oversaw. After the sale of rail cars to the national railways and MAN busses to the public transportation services in Bogotá, Ferrostaal de Colombia Ltda. entered the market for pumps, valves and large slide gates for waterworks. The overseas office sold and assembled large components for deep wells and, in this field, became the most important representatives worldwide of the manufacturer KSB, one of the leading suppliers of pumps, valves and associated systems. Four other offices were established in Cartagena, Cali, Medellin and Neiva. The sale in the 1970s of two submarines built by HDW in Kiel marked the Columbian office’s largest order to date. The successful completion of this order provided the basis for a long and fruitful relationship with the Columbian Navy, which has placed orders for marine research vessels, corvettes and cost-guard surveillance systems. In 1986, José Huerga took the helm as Managing Director and steered the Columbian office through 16 more successful years. He saw through the merger with Intergrafica, a company with 35 years of experience in the printing press market in Latin America. 40 EMPLOYEES Since 2002, Camilo Martinez has been in charge of an office of 40 employees and has been implementing projects relating to the same and assembly of machines and components, Industrial Systems and Transportation, Marine Systems, Materials and Printing & Packaging. The most important orders include the supply of pumps, valves and large slide gates for the country’s waterworks, as was the case 40 years ago. Orders for submarine spare parts are currently in process. MAN Ferrostaal de Colombia Ltda. supplied the Columbian Central Bank with Schuler presses for coin minting at the end of 2005. COOPERATION To complete these order, MAN Ferrostaal’s overseas offices works in close collaboration with other companies within the MAN Group. As part of a current project with an order volume of 4 million US dollars, MAN Ferrostaal de Colombia will deliver and assemble a MAN B&W engine with a capacity of 3,000 kilowatts. Meanwhile, the Navy has placed a delivery order for five MAN B&W generators for two ships. Frank Hoffmann
