Schenck Process, a global company for sustainable, integrated measuring and process technology solutions, has announced that it has signed an agreement for the sale of its Mining business to Swedish engineering group Sandvik AB. Upon completion, the business will be integrated into Sandvik’s Rock Processing Solutions business area, a leading supplier of equipment, tools, parts, services and solutions for processing rock and minerals in the mining and construction industries.

Schenck Process’s Mining business comprises operations in major mining locations around the world including Australia, South Africa and South America with FY2021 revenues of about €160m and approximately 630 employees.
Once fully integrated into Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions, the Mining business will benefit from a greater global reach combined with Sandvik’s strong technical and commercial depth providing a more attractive customer proposition and broader career opportunities for all mining employees.
Keith Cochrane, CEO Schenck Process Group, commented: “I am delighted with this outcome for our mining colleagues and customers. Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions is both a natural and excellent new partner for our Mining business creating a stronger platform to build on our recent market success.
