Epiroc and SANY Group sign global partnership agreement

In a bid to explore opportunities for broader collaboration across selected areas in the mining and infrastructure industries, Epiroc AB and SANY Group have entered into a strategic partnership.

The partnership will enhance the cross-brand product portfolio, including providing combinations of Epiroc's hydraulic breakers, other specialty attachments, as well as ground-engaging tools (GET) with SANY's excavator and loader portfolio. The enhanced product portfolios will offer higher productivity and more integrated solutions for infrastructure applications.

Within mining, the parties will also collaborate to strengthen productivity by combining Epiroc's 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 digitalization. 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, says: "Epiroc is a global leader in mining equipment technology, while SANY has significant advantages in new energy construction machinery and smart manufacturing. This strategic partnership represents a major step forward in our globalization strategy and will accelerate the transformation of the global mining industry towards low-carbon and intelligent operations."
