Mines thrive on reliability, scale and efficiency, and expect infrastructure investments that will support those goals effectively with modern features and technical superiority. The sector yielded record profits last year, a windfall to support long-term strategies around growing operational complexity and higher costs. Thus, mining houses are keen to see what the latest infrastructure products, services and technologies can provide across their portfolios.

WEG, global manufacturer of industrial electrical technologies, is uniquely positioned to deliver advantages to mining operators, service providers and OEMs.

These include WEG’s market-leading electric motors, locally manufactured voltage control systems, advanced solar and battery storage, rugged charging stations, customised generators, industrial steam turbines and cutting-edge e-house substations.
