Today Minetek, a world-class provider of water management, underground ventilation and sound reduction solutions to mining and industrial leaders, announced the official opening of its Mid-West Hub in Columbus, Ohio, USA.
The new Hub signals Minetek’s intentions to continue its growth in the regions of North and South America, following decades of delivering proactive and responsive solutions across the globe.
Dallas Bird, Minetek’s Managing Director, stated, “we’ve invested heavily in growing our capacity in the region with all economic indicators pointing to sustained demand in key industries across North and South America. Our clients – new and existing – have been clear that our solutions in water management, underground ventilation and sound attenuation are helping them meet their immediate operational and broader, long-term ESG objectives and our new Mid-West Hub further cements our position as being 100% client-focused.”
Jeff Southard, Minetek’s VP North America, added, “being able to deploy solutions rapidly is critical for the clients we serve, and our Mid-West Hub enables us to respond quickly to meet their needs. We already have a broad footprint of sales and domain expertise strategically placed across the continental United States in areas including California, Wisconsin, Oregon, Missouri, New Jersey and also in Calgary, Canada. Following the establishment of a new corporate office location in Houston, Texas, the addition of the new Hub underpins our capability in both North and South America to help our client’s faster and more efficiently than ever before.”
Rick Markham, Minetek’s Global Aftersales Manager, underlined, “we have a comprehensive network of resources on the ground supporting the ongoing operations of our clients. This new, extended capacity to centrally warehouse critical stocks to deploy where and when they are needed will help keep our clients on the move, reducing the potential impacts of downtime and improving overall operational effectiveness.”
The Mid-West Hub is the latest addition to Minetek’s global capacity with similar sites now operational in Perth, Western Australia supporting mining and industrial clients in Australia’s vast goldfields and network of metalliferous mining operations. Minetek’s Sydney, Australia-based Centre of Excellence remains the core of global manufacturing for the group.
As mining and industrial leaders endeavor to optimise their operations in both planned and responsive measures, with ongoing demand for mining commodities in traditional ore applications and the burgeoning need for electrification minerals continuing to increase, Minetek is well positioned to meet this global ramp in demand.
