Eaton targets mining industry

News & events

4th Quarter 2012 News & events

Eaton Corporation recently hosted a Technology Day in Johannesburg for its African customers, kick-starting a sales and marketing campaign targeting every stage of the mining value chain. In the last year, Eaton has seen rapid growth in South Africa. When combining its wide range of electrical, hydraulic and vehicle products and services, Eaton can address its customers’ key power management challenges at all six stages of the mining process: exploration, production drill and blast, load and haul, crush and screen, materials handling and processing.

The Technology Day was attended by senior global Eaton leaders, including recently appointed global mining director, Simon Meester. Commenting on Eaton’s solutions for the mining industry, Meester said: “Mine managers are under constant pressure from owners to maximise output, while reducing cost per ton. Our message at today’s Technology Day is simple: Eaton is the only supplier able to address the industry’s most critical power management challenges at every stage of the value chain from the drilling of the first exploration holes, all the way through to final production.”

The Technology Day consisted of a series of technical seminars providing deeper insights into Eaton’s electrical, hydraulic and vehicle offerings for miners. In addition, a comprehensive exhibition floor showcased the complete portfolio of Eaton’s mining products and services across the six stages of the mining process. Clem Sunter, the former chairman of the Anglo American Chairman’s Fund, also presented his insights on the world and Africa beyond 2012 in a keynote address.

Emil Berning, general manager of Eaton Hydraulics, represented Eaton at the technology day.
