Epiroc has opened the doors to its new Surface Mining Competency Center in Tucson, Ariz., which the OEM is calling a significant strategic advancement.
The new Epiroc USA facility features a 28,000-square-foot rebuild center and is set to support regional surface customers via aftermarket support, training and specialized technical assistance as well. Services offered include a range stemming from machinery remanufacturing to planned component replacement programs, streamlined logistics and distribution for machine parts and consumables.
“With four rebuild bays capable to accommodate four Pit Viper 271 rotary blasthole rigs simultaneously, and 1,500 square feet of advanced office space, the center embodies efficiency and stands as an example of innovation and excellence in the heart of Arizona,” the company said.
“In addition to operational excellence and innovative data and automation technologies, Epiroc is committed to investing in its people, workplace culture, and sustainability goals. By supporting future talent and fostering the well-being of local communities across Arizona and the USA, Epiroc aims to make a lasting impact on the mining industry’s sustainable development.”
