Integrated solutions power up Africa’ s mines
At the Investing in African Mining Indaba, Vivo Energy and Engen showcased technology-enabled solutions and collaborative partnerships that help mining customers improve reliability, safety and operational efficiency.
Delivering practical, partnershipdriven solutions to the mining sector is a priority for Vivo Energy and its Engen business in South Africa. In February this year, the companies showcased their integrated capabilities at the Investing in African Mining Indaba at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, highlighting how their combined offering supports more resilient, efficient and sustainable mining operations across the continent.
“ Progress in mining is not achieved in isolation.”
Aligned with the 2026 theme,“ Stronger together: Progress through partnerships”, their participation reflected a broader commitment to collaboration across the mining value chain, working alongside operators, OEMs, technology providers, supply chain partners and host communities to address operational complexity and long-term performance.
“ Progress in mining is not achieved in isolation,” says George Roberts, Executive Vice President( EVP) South for Vivo Energy and Engen CEO.“ It is built through strong partnerships across the value chain – between operators, suppliers, technology partners and communities. Vivo Energy and Engen bring together fuels, lubricants, technology and on-the-ground expertise to support mining customers in addressing today’ s operational challenges while building long-term resilience.”
Alex Caldwell, Head of Mining at Vivo Energy, says that the Mining Indaba provided“ an important opportunity to demonstrate how [ their ] integrated approach across the Vivo Energy Group delivers value to mining operations throughout Africa”. By combining local expertise with regional scale and advanced technology solutions, he says,“ we’ re able to support our mining partners with reliable, efficient operations that drive sustainable growth”.
