Canada-based mining vehicle manufacturer MacLean Engineering has deep roots in the African mining industry.  The company has been designing, manufacturing and supporting underground mining vehicles around the globe for over 50 years, including on the African continent, where the company established its first-ever international branch in the late 1990s, in Parys, in the North West province of South Africa.

MacLean currently supports over 100 MacLean mining vehicles working in South Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Mali, Tanzania and Namibia.   The company’s in-country field support across the African continent was significantly improved earlier this year with the announcement of a dealer partnership with earthmoving equipment supplier Kanu Equipment, which greatly improves MacLean’s site support capabilities in the DRC and Tanzania in particular.

The company has been pursuing a ‘Made in Africa, for Africa’ initiative in recent years, which is seeing the branch in Parys now completing full assembly of ground support and utility mining vehicles destined for the African industry.  To that end, MacLean recently completed its first in-country  assembly of a 975 Scissor Bolter, and the unit was subsequently successfully commissioned at a customer site in South Africa.
