B MG will use this year’s Electra Mining exhibition to highlight its integrated engineering solutions and technical services aimed at optimising productivity and enhance process plant operating reliability. “The focal point of this year’s exhibit will be a display of the company’s extensive electro-mechanical range, which will include representative examples of industrial drive systems as specified by major users in southern Africa. Exhibits will feature products from Nord, Sumitomo and Paramax, with whom BMG holds exclusive distribution agreements,” says Mark Barbour, BMG business unit manager, electromechanical drives. “Since BMG’s acquisition of Hansen Transmissions South Africa in 2015, the company has broadened its mechanical drives range and strengthened its long- term partnership with Sumitomo as the sole distributor of Sumitomo’s speed reducers in sub-Saharan Africa. “Another highlight is the R350 million expansion of BMG’s company’s distribu- tion and engineering facilities – BMG World.
