Our Global Reach

Heavy industrial equipment is rarely bought close to home. A copper mine in the Andes, a smelter in North America and a water-treatment plant in Africa may all need the same corrosion-resistant FRP tanks, process vessels and mineral-processing equipment — but they need a partner who can engineer, build, inspect and deliver across borders without dropping the ball. That is the role Crimar Industrial has played for more than 35 years.

Headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, Crimar Industrial has served global industrial clients since 1988 with high-quality equipment, replacement parts and comprehensive on-site services. Our products are manufactured in the United States, Mexico and China, and supported by seven sales and service offices across the Americas, Africa and Asia. With more than 1,000 completed projects, our global reach is not a slogan — it is how we keep demanding projects on spec, on schedule and on budget.

A footprint that follows our customers

Crimar maintains seven sales and support offices — in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Africa and China. That distribution is deliberate: it mirrors where the world’s mining, mineral-processing and heavy-industrial work actually happens. Local presence means a customer in South America or Africa can talk to someone in their own language and time zone, arrange a site visit, and get hands-on support during installation and start-up — while still drawing on the engineering and manufacturing strength of the whole organization.

For buyers, that combination of global scale and local contact removes a lot of friction. Specifications are understood the first time, questions are answered quickly, and there is always a Crimar representative who can stand in front of the equipment — at the factory or on your site.

Manufacturing on three shores: the United States, Mexico and China

Rather than depend on a single country, Crimar manufactures across three: the United States, Mexico and China. Each location contributes its own strengths, and together they give customers flexibility that a single-source supplier cannot match. Our North American plants support nearshore and USMCA-relevant supply for buyers who need documented regional content, while our long-established China operations add scale and cost-competitive capacity for large programs.

Across all three, the product range is consistent: custom FRP tanks and process vessels, FRP ductwork, scrubbers, gratings, covers and expansion joints, steel process equipment, castings and forgings, crushing and milling equipment, wear parts, solid-liquid separation systems, and valves and dampers. Whether a project calls for a large hand-laid fiberglass tank or a run of mining wear parts, we can place the work where it makes the most sense for quality, lead time and origin.

SBCCO-China: our engine in Asia

Our presence in China is not an arm’s-length trading relationship — it is a company we own and run. SBCCO-China (Shijiazhuang Beman Commercial Co. Ltd.), based in Shijiazhuang, Hebei, is a majority U.S.-owned Chinese corporation originally established as Crimar’s own purchasing and quality office. Its job is to make sure Chinese manufacturing meets Western specifications, documentation standards and delivery expectations — before equipment ever leaves the factory.

That oversight is personal. Crimar’s president has traveled to China on the order of ten times a year for well over a decade to keep suppliers aligned with customer needs, and works directly with our sales teams on several continents. More than 30 years of international sales and purchasing experience — and fluency in English, Spanish and French — help bridge the language and cultural gaps that so often derail cross-border equipment orders.

Global reach in service of quality — not just price

A global supply chain is only an advantage if it protects quality. Crimar’s priorities are captured in a motto we take literally:

“Quality first, quality second, on-time delivery third — and if the first three are met, then focus on competitive pricing.”

That order of priorities drives our quality and inspection program. Crimar’s own personnel regularly visit the factories to check materials and fabrication procedures. Where appropriate, we engage international third-party inspection companies such as Bureau Veritas and Moody to certify that materials, workmanship, dimensions and functionality comply with the specification — and we welcome customer-selected inspectors for pre-fabrication, in-process and post-fabrication inspections. Inspection and test plans (ITPs), material certificates and full data books travel with the equipment, so what arrives is exactly what was ordered.

End-to-end project management across borders

Delivering equipment around the world takes more than a factory. Crimar manages the whole path from concept to commissioning:

• Customer support and engineering — help defining equipment through drafting, pilot plants, laboratory testing, on-site visits, product testing and materials selection.
• On-site dimensional verification — field measurement for replacement parts when OEM drawings are incomplete or missing, so new fabrications fit the first time.
• Quality control — factory audits, third-party certification and customer-witnessed inspection.
• Documentation and expediting — proposals, drawings, data books, quality reports and user manuals, kept clear for the end user, with active schedule management.
• Shipping and installation support — export-ready packing, logistics, and on-site technical support during installation, plus follow-up visits and operator training.

Equipment and industries we serve worldwide

From a single office in Tucson to job sites on four continents, Crimar equipment goes to work in mining and mineral processing, smelting and refining, cement and power plants, water treatment and marine applications. The product families that reach those industries include corrosion-resistant FRP tanks, ductwork, scrubbers and covers; crushing and milling equipment and mining wear parts; steel process equipment, castings and forgings; solid-liquid separation systems such as thickeners, filter presses and mixer-settlers; and a full range of valves and dampers. It is the same breadth of equipment, backed by the same quality system, wherever in the world it ships.

Why our global reach matters to you

For a plant manager or procurement lead, Crimar’s footprint translates into practical advantages: a choice of manufacturing origin (including North American production when regional content matters), support in your language and time zone, a single accountable partner from engineering through installation, and the risk diversification that comes from not relying on any one country or factory. In an era when supply-chain security and documentation matter as much as unit price, that reach is exactly what keeps critical equipment flowing.
