GENERAL MANAGER – ANDEAN REGION, AND GLOBAL T.U MANAGER FOR SPARES AND SERVICES, HAVER & BOECKER NIAGARA
"High commodity prices are giving a new lease of life to the mining industry, and we expect that projects that were suspended or are on standby will soon be progressing again."
"Fortunately, since we have had so much to do, we have reached the point where we can negotiate by volume, and evidently anticipate purchases, while increasing our levels of inventory to have a greater certainty."
"The conversation in the mining industry primarily revolves around the royalties bill, but to discuss reforms, we need to put everything on the table, including labor, pensions, and health."
"We contribute by using advanced technology and data to reduce failures and downtime, providing confidence in continuous operations. The shift we see in technological development is from increasing size and scale of operations to increasing efficiency and improving processes."
GENERAL MANAGER - SOUTH AMERICA, HOFMANN ENGINEERING
"We are constantly looking at what are the current performances and failure modes of the OEM product and with our own design department, we carry out investigations and engineering analysis to come up with better features to improve our products."

But M&A is only a quick fix to the global resource replenishment crisis.
