The momentum for mining electrification rides on a technology development that is set to accelerate rapidly, enabling substantial benefits for the industry.
“In a couple of years electric equipment will be part of pretty much every contract,” says Henrik Ager, President of Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions.
This year, it is one hundred years since stainless steel was manufactured for the first time at Sandvik and in Sweden. After the first melting in April 1921, Sandvik started regular tube production, followed by wire and strip.
Precision parts manufacturer Don Schumacher Motorsports collaborates with Sandvik to keep winning on the racetrack and expand into industries as diverse as aerospace and defense.
