This can serve as an opportunity to enter the Chilean market,” declared Maciej Ściążko, General Director of Sierra Gorda SCM.Ĭhile’s sustainable economic growth, political stability and safe legislation create perfect conditions for investment. The second phase of development is a great chance for co-operation as far as providing products and services is concerned. In mid-2015 the mine’s ramp-up process will be completed and full phase 1 production should be reached. Two of them – TELE-FONIKA Kable and Sempertrans – come from Poland. Its construction demanded the engagement of over 53,000 people, 18.5 million working hours and over 600 contractors. “Sierra Gorda is an innovative and pioneering mining project. It makes use of the state-of-the-art technologies that allow for the full efficiency of operations. Sierra Gorda is one of the largest mining projects in the Antofagasta region. It proves we have layers of possibilities available due to co-operation and courage,” stressed Herbert Wirth, President and CEO of KGHM. The Sierra Gorda mine is a fine example of a strategic foreign expansion. We wish to continue to share knowledge with Polish businesses and research institutes. I am satisfied that the Chilean market is becoming increasingly attractive to them. „KGHM supports Polish companies planning international expansion by sharing contacts and best practices. An important factor in this foreign expansion is co-operation: by promoting one another and sharing their knowledge, Polish companies are able to develop more effectively. Polish companies are becoming increasingly successful in the competition with foreign corporations as far as innovations and quality of products is concerned. KGHM and its successful investment in the Sierra Gorda mine may serve as a good example as it strengthens the brand of Poland in Chile,” said Aleksandra Piątkowska, Ambassador of Poland to Chile. Innovative companies from Poland have the chance to permanently succeed in the Chilean market. With constantly growing competition from such countries as the Netherlands and England, the transfer of know-how is becoming the key to success. “Chile is a reliable and democratic country, which is attracting foreign investments due to a favorable business climate. Although resources attract the majority of funds, the Chilean market is also open to other businesses. Global copper producers understand that trend and are investing in this country. With annual revenues from metals mining at USD 50 billion, Chile is one of the world’s leaders in this industry, which is growing three times faster than the rest of the Chilean economy.
