Epiroc’s New Concept Mining launches hard-rock drill manufacturing plant in Johannesburg
From Creamer Media in Johannesburg, this is the Real Economy Report.
Sashnee Moodley:
New Concept Mining, which is part of Swedish-headquartered Epiroc, in September launched its Hydraulic Rock Drill, or HRD manufacturing plant in Aeroton, Johannesburg. Tasneem Bulbulia tells us more.
Tasneem Bulbulia:
Epiroc manufactures mining and infrastructure equipment. New Concept Mining is a South African ground support solutions provider. It was acquired by Epiroc in 2019, and became New Concept Mining Powered by Epiroc, or New Concept Mining. This acquisition combined the specialised ground support solutions of NCM and the global reach of Epiroc.
Epiroc Ground Support Product Development head Greig Knox expands on the decision to move the HRD manufacturing plant from Sweden to South Africa, and how this project unfolded.
