Innovative Tank Design Secures Sodium Cyanide For Suttons

Suttons’ North American team has won a significant contract with Cyanco, the world’s leading manufacturer of sodium cyanide.

Due to the toxic nature of sodium cyanide and strict regulations surrounding its storage and transportation, Cyanco was looking for a logistics partner with significant experience in hazardous materials.

Suttons’ technical department worked closely with Cyanco’s technical team to update an existing tank container solution which features a sparger system designed to dissolve solid sodium cyanide briquettes into a liquid sodium cyanide solution, used at multiple gold mining sites across the world.

George Easterling, Cyanco’s supply chain director, said:

“We have a strong working relationship with Suttons and are highly impressed by their flexible and innovative approach. “

We are committed to safety of not just employees and customers, but the environment as well.

“We maintain strict controls that manage risk and are pleased to have a responsible and solution driven partner in Suttons to work with us to continuously develop our processes and procedures.”

Steve Lonsdale, business unit director, Suttons Americas, said:

“This is another important contract win for Suttons.

“The client was looking for a company with world class safety, security and compliance credentials, plus a proven track record in managing technically challenging solutions on their behalf.

“Suttons had the right blend of knowledge, experience and infrastructure to meet their specific brief.”
