Epiroc shifts manufacturing to India
Epiroc AB, a productivity partner for the mining and infrastructure industries, will consolidate the manufacturing of dimension stone industry equipment to India to increase efficiency. As a result the manufacturing in Italy will be closed. Epiroc will consolidate the dimension stone industry manufacturing to its existing production facility in Nashik, India. The relocation will place the development and manufacturing in the center of the strong and growing dimension stone industry market in India. This will facilitate a solid and efficient development of the product offering and shorten time to market. The operation at Epiroc Stonetec in Bagnolo, Italy, with about 40 employees, will be closed by mid-2020.
Dimension stones are natural stones or rocks that are typically extracted from quarries, trimmed to specific sizes or shapes and used for example as countertops, tiles or gravestones. Epiroc’s product offering includes hydraulic drill rigs such as the SpeedROC. The business belongs to Epiroc’s Surface and Exploration Drilling and Mining and Excavation Rock Service divisions.
