Epiroc to consolidate Dimension Stone Industry Equipment manufacturing to India
Epiroc AB, a productivity partner for the mining and infrastructure industries, will consolidate the manufacturing of dimension stone industry equipment to India to increase efficiency. As a result the manufacturing in Italy will be closed.
Epiroc will consolidate the dimension stone industry manufacturing to its existing production facility in Nashik, India. The relocation will place the development and manufacturing in the center of the strong and growing dimension stone industry market in India. This will facilitate a solid and efficient development of the product offering and shorten time to market. The operation at Epiroc Stonetec in Bagnolo, Italy, with about 40 employees, will be closed by mid-2020.
“We regret that this move will affect some of our colleagues in Italy, but this action is necessary to keep Epiroc strong and agile for the future,” says Helena Hedblom, Senior Executive Vice President Mining and Infrastructure. “India is a large and growing dimension stone industry market and there we can benefit from an already full infrastructure for production, sourcing and logistics.”
Dimension stones are natural stones or rocks that are typically extracted from quarries, trimmed to specific sizes or shapes and used for example as countertops, tiles or gravestones. Epiroc’s product offering includes hydraulic drill rigs such as the SpeedROC.
The business belongs to Epiroc’s Surface and Exploration Drilling and Mining and Excavation Rock Service divisions.
Epiroc is a global productivity partner for the mining and infrastructure industries. With cutting-edge technology, Epiroc develops and produces innovative, safe and sustainable drill rigs, rock excavation and construction equipment and tools. The company also provides world-class service and solutions for automation and interoperability. Epiroc is based in Stockholm, Sweden, had revenues of SEK 38 billion in 2018, and has more than 14,000 passionate employees supporting and collaborating with customers in more than 150 countries.
