Sustainable business success relies on a strong and enduring relationship between a customer and a supplier . There is more to such a relationship than simple transactions ; it is based on trust , mutual understanding and a shared commitment to long-term value creation . This is the ethos that has been the foundation of the long-standing relationship between Epiroc and Booysen Bore over the past 30 years and it is this symbiotic relationship that has now delivered the 80th FlexiROC D65 machine to Booysen Bore . The drill rig , which is scheduled for delivery in July 2023 , will be used at an iron ore mine in the Northern Cape .
