Epiroc AB has entered into a strategic partnership with SANY Group to examine opportunities for broader collaboration across selected areas of the mining and infrastructure industries.
A signing ceremony was recently held to seal the pact at the SANY Industrial Park in Changsha, China.
The parties said they will enhance their cross-brand product portfolio, including providing attractive combinations of Epiroc’s hydraulic breakers, other specialty attachments, as well as ground engaging tools (GET) with SANY’s excavator and loader portfolio. The enhanced product portfolios, they said, will bring customers higher productivity and more integrated solutions for infrastructure applications.
Within mining, the parties will also collaborate to strengthen customers’ productivity by combining Epiroc electrified equipment, charging solutions, and global service capabilities with SANY’s extended expertise in electric micro grids and green energies.
“SANY’s innovations in electrification, equipment, and smart manufacturing are truly impressive,” said José Manuel Sánchez, president of Epiroc’s Tools & Attachments Business Area.
“Epiroc leads mining and infrastructure applications in the fields of equipment automation, electrification and digitalization. We look forward to combining our respective technologies and resources to deliver more efficient and sustainable solutions for customers worldwide, creating new value and energy resilience for the industry.”
Lihua Tang, group director of SANY, added: “Epiroc is a global leader in mining equipment technology, while SANY has significant advantages in new energy construction machinery and smart manufacturing. This strategic partnership represents a major step forward in our globalization strategy and will accelerate the transformation of the global mining industry towards low-carbon and intelligent operations.”
