Epiroc

Epiroc is a Swedish multinational company that manufactures and supplies equipment, consumables and services for the mining, infrastructure and civil engineering industries. The company's product portfolio includes drilling rigs, rock excavation equipment, loading and hauling machinery, ventilation systems and automation technology designed to improve productivity, safety and sustainability in underground and surface operations. Epiroc is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, and operates manufacturing facilities, service centres and sales offices in more than 150 countries. The company serves customers in hard-rock mining, quarrying, construction and geotechnical applications, with a strong presence in Africa, the Americas, Asia-Pacific and Europe. Epiroc's equipment is used in the extraction of copper, gold, iron ore, coal and other minerals, as well as in tunnelling and infrastructure projects. The company has invested heavily in battery-electric and autonomous equipment to reduce emissions and enhance operational efficiency in mining. Epiroc is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm and employs around 18 000 people globally. It was formed in 2018 when Atlas Copco, a Swedish industrial group, spun off its mining and rock excavation division to create a standalone entity focused on the mining and construction sectors. Since its formation, Epiroc has pursued acquisitions and partnerships to strengthen its technology offering and aftermarket services.
