Epiroc has announced a new strategy to support the underground mining market in North America. The company has consolidated resources and application experience to approach the U.S. and Canadian segments as one North American market. This new structure will help meet increasing demand for electrification solutions that deliver savings on maintenance, ventilation, and cooling while lessening environmental footprint and creating a healthier work environment.
Epiroc covers underground mining needs with production and face drill rigs, loaders and trucks, ventilation systems, and automation capabilities. Battery-electric solutions available to North American partners include Scooptram loaders, Minetruck haulers, and rigs for face drilling (Boomer), production drilling (Simba) and rock reinforcement (Boltec). Epiroc can help clients with operator training, equipment optimization, financing, and service plans including Batteries as a Service.
To drive the new strategy, Epiroc created the position of Underground Business Manager for North America and appointed Travis Battley to the role. Battley brings 13 years of experience serving Epiroc underground mining customers globally. He will work closely with customer centers in the U.S. and Canada to support partners with product and application expertise in material handling, drilling and infrastructure.
