Minetec, a division of Codan Limited (ASX-CDA), is pleased to
announce the opening of its new wholly-owned subsidiary in
Johannesburg, South Africa: Minetec RSA Pty Ltd. The establishment
of this corporate presence demonstrates Minetec’s commitment to the
African market. The new company will provide a solid platform for
Minetec to further improve its product delivery and service
capabilities in the region and build closer relationships with key
customers.
“This is an important milestone in Minetec’s expansion,” said
Rory Linehan, Executive General Manager. “We are committed to
providing all of our customers with high technology solutions and
world-class through life support. Given the demand for Minetec’s
unique products and systems, it is a logical next step for Minetec
to invest in the African market. The creation of Minetec RSA Pty
Ltd provides a platform to recruit local expertise in order to
serve our customer’s more effectively. ”
This strategic decision also recognises the emerging
opportunities in South Africa in light of the recently legislated
Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) regulations for Collision
Avoidance Systems.
“It will soon be mandatory that every operating mine in South
Africa will need to be compliant with the legislation for Collision
Avoidance Systems. Minetec’s safety solutions are compliant with
the new legislation and we are experiencing unprecedented interest
in our SafeDetectTM product.” says Alan Fenelon GM Commercial
Development.
The DMR now requires that a mine’s safety system automatically
slows-down and stops a machine in order to prevent accidents.
Minetec is the only systems supplier that can provide a single
DMR-compliant solution for both surface and underground mining
operations. These systems form part of the Minetec Unified
Platform, which encompasses tracking, safety and productivity
applications.
“We are uniquely qualified to help South African mine operators
demonstrate compliance with these new regulations and also provide
a platform for operational savings going forward.” added Mr
Fenelon.
