About Us

We build comprehensive safety & management solutions for the mining industry

Mission, Purpose & Vision

The industry-leading mine safety and technology company

We develop safety & management solutions for the mining industry. All our solutions are purpose-built and operationally proven.

Within our partnerships, we develop all the software, firmware and hardware behind our solutions.

History

Innovating within the mining industry for over 40 years

Founded in 1978 in Welkom, South Africa.

We began working on our rail-bound technology as a small team of engineers. Our team has since progressed to building advanced, integrated solutions that provide comprehensive mine management.

In 2021, Master Drilling Group Limited invested into the company funding further R&D and expanding our global footprint. Over the last 40 years, we’ve grown to over 500 employees and now serve some of the largest mining operations in the world.

Philosophy & People

People-first & value driven

Our role is to support our employees working on the ground level. We focus on how we can best support our people and provide them with the tools they need to succeed.

Our company offers fulfilling, diverse work with numerous opportunities for skill development and personal growth.
