JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Local explosives manufacturer and distributor AEL Mining Services is expanding its footprint in South America by now offering its full suite of products and technical expertise directly to its customers, rather than through distributors.
This, AEL South America and West Central Africa business development GM Alois Kwenda said, would ensure quality throughout the supply and application of explosives on site.
“The expansion in this region by AEL has exceeded expectations since we started offering direct supply in June.
“We have already participated in three tenders in the region and are conducting several demonstrations of electronic blasting systems with potential customers,” he added.
AEL was working to increase its supply of electronic blasting systems and bulk explosives in Brazil and Chile.
