Epiroc and Fordia Powered by Epiroc have opened an Exploration Competency Center based in Elko, Nev., and operated by Fordia.
The companies said the new organization, which opened May 3, will offer more flexibility and customer focus over the sales and service process for U.S. exploration customers.
Exploration customers will be able to place a single order for Epiroc exploration rigs, diamond tools, In-the-Hole tools and any Christensen, Diamec or Explorac machines, parts and service. A dedicated Elko-based team will assist.
“We recognized an opportunity to integrate exploration products and applications while continuing to focus on developing a customer-centric experience,” said Ron Hankins, business line manager, Surface division.
“This is part of our One Exploration strategy. Through one centralized hub, we are able to provide responsive support and solutions to our exploration customers in a more sustainable way.”
