This 2018 Mavi has literally been swamped by orders regarding the retrofitting of older drives and machines. Many over 20 - 25 years old.

Companies are going for this cheaper option here in Latin America.

The retrofitting and a new partial period of warranty helps decide. Expensive and mostly non-existent financing, specially for smaller companies the main reason.

As all of Latin America is somehow slow in developing its industrial, mining and services capabilities, using old equipment seems to be the solution, until a new push begins.
