Oyu Tolgoi's purchasing of raw materials from local companies is a big achievement
Uur Teel LLC has been working with Oyu Tolgoi from 2009. Since then, Uur Teel has significantly improved its transportation and delivery of goods and materials.
Any large development requires a constant need for various types of materials for both construction and industry. So far Oyu Tolgoi is the largest construction project in the country and hundreds of national companies are supplying a variety of materials. One of the supplier is Uur Teel LLC.
The company has been working with Oyu Tolgoi since 2009 and supplies metal and metal fabrications. It has 32 staff and when there are intense workloads they hire 15 more workers. A.Davaadorj, General Manager of Uur Teel LLC said, “We hire more staff during the peak season in the summer. Approximately ten of our employees work on the Oyu Tolgoi project site. We bring and sell our products in Ulaanbaatar”.
The main requirement of the metal product is to have good quality that meets the international standards. The special metals designated for Rio Tinto underground mining are required to be highly firm and they are imported from USA and Sweden. 80 per cent of the metals supplied by Uur Teel LLC are for general use and are brought from Russia and the People's Republic of China.
The director of the company said, “Oyu Tolgoi’s purchasing of raw materials from local companies is a big achievement. In the beginning, it was not easy for us in terms of paperwork, however, compared to experience we have gained it was worth of our effort. It is the biggest investment. Thanks to cooperating with Oyu Tolgoi, the company is improving with regards to transporting and delivering ordered goods and materials on time.
Mongolians believe that compliments work better than material rewards. Oyu Tolgoi recognises outstanding services provided by its suppliers and selects its Best Supplier on a monthly basis. Uur Teel LLC has been selected as the Best Supplier for July 2012.
