“ A fter the cancellation of Electra Mining in 2020 due to Covid, we see this year’s event as an opportunity to meet our customers and to display some of our latest products and technology-driven solu tions,” says Rajen Govender, regional managing director of Weir Minerals Africa, which forms part of the global, LSE-listed Weir Group. Weir Minerals Africa is busy extending its sales and service network across the African continent and the Middle East, with a particular focus on West Africa, which has emerged over the past two decades as one of the world’s growing mining regions. The company already has branches in Ghana and Senegal and, in a recent breakthrough, secured its first major order for Nigeria. “Our strategic intent has always been to be where our customers need us to be,” remarks Govender. “While we are well represented throughout Africa and the Middle East, we believe there are still opportunities to extend our footprint – and the technologies we offer – to countries where we currently have little or no permanent presence.” All Weir Minerals Africa’s leading brands, including Warman®, GEHO®, Cavex®, Enduron®, Trio®, Delta Industrial™, Linatex® and Isodry™, will be featured on the stand, although the sheer size of some of the equipment will limit the abil ity to have entire units on display.

Equipment that cannot physically be accommo dated on the stand will be represented by 3D models and illustrated via audio-visual displays.” Weir Minerals Africa will showcase its digital capabilities, notably its Synertrex® digital eco system which enables customers to access all recorded data of their Weir Minerals equipment, as and when required. Also on show will be the Synertrex® Inteli Wear condition monitoring system for hoses and spools, which can be accessed remotely through a dedicated online dashboard. 
