NEPEAN MINING
MINING says Rolf van Rooyen , managing director of Nepean Mining .
World Class Facilities In addition to a vast product range , Nepean is accessible almost anywhere in the world . With a total of 10 facilities worldwide , including Australia , South Africa , and China , Nepean Mining has captured roughly 35-40 percent of the mining equipment market in its core market of eastern Australia by incorporating facilities close to its clients .
In early 2013 , Nepean completed a significant expansion of one of its conveyor facilities in Wollongong , Australia . The new factory , which includes manufacturing operations such as fabrication , machining , assembly and quality assurance testing , continues to serve the company ’ s rapid expansion in NSW underground coalmines . The facility also serves to showcase Nepean ’ s dedication to safety . The company recently achieved a milestone by reaching 1,000,000 man hours without a Lost Time Injury ( LTI ) in its Conveyors business and 700,000 in its Power business .
“ I believe the key to our success is everyone in our organization understanding that they have a role to play in sustaining a zero harm environment . These milestones are a significant achievement and this is something that many companies aim for , but few achieve ,” says Van Rooyen .
Van Rooyen admits in the past the company had an old-school approach to safety but since has adapted to stricter rules .
“ You can see the difference in our
“ We can sell solutions right on the spot because our team knows what our customer ’ s needs are .”
