Amalgamated Mining Group (AMG) of Edmonton, Canada, will provide rental underground equipment from Sandvik including loaders, trucks, underground drills and bolters to customers in the United States.
The company’s expansion into the U.S. within the mining and tunneling industry has been a focus for some time now. AMG will carry a variety of units to suit different customers’ needs, ranging from more compact units such as a Sandvik LH203 loader to larger machines, such as Sandvik TH545i trucks.
“With Sandvik’s diverse line of equipment we are able to provide our clients with a full range of offerings from mine startup right through to mine closure options,” said Colin Elson, vice president of AMG. “Our alliance with Sandvik has proven very successful in Canada and it was a natural progression to extend that partnership into the USA.”
“AMG brings years of solid customer relationships, knowledge and commitment to the mining sector,” said Wes Vietmeier, business line manager, load and haul at Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions. “Working with AMG will allow us to address new markets and rental purchase opportunities.”
