The companies say that the partnership will explore opportunities for broader collaboration across selected areas in the mining and infrastructure industries.

The parties aim to enhance the cross-brand product portfolio, including providing combinations of Epiroc’s hydraulic breakers, other specialty attachments, as well as ground engaging tools with Sany’s excavator and loader portfolio.

Within mining, the parties will also collaborate to strengthen customers’ productivity by combining Epiroc electrified equipment, charging solutions and global service capabilities with Sany’s extended expertise in electric micro grids and green energies.

“Sany’s innovations in electrification, equipment, and smart manufacturing are truly impressive,” says José Manuel Sánchez, President of Epiroc’s Tools & Attachments Business Area, who attended the signing ceremony at Sany Industrial Park in Changsha, China.

“Epiroc leads mining and infrastructure applications in the fields of equipment automation, electrification and digitalisation. We look forward to combining our respective technologies and resources to deliver more efficient and sustainable solutions for customers worldwide, creating new value and energy resilience for the industry.”

Lihua Tang, Group Director of Sany, added that, “This strategic partnership represents a major step forward in our globalisation strategy and will accelerate the transformation of the global mining industry towards low-carbon and intelligent operations.”

Both Sany and Epiroc are listed on International Construction’s Yellow Table.
