Epiroc has completed the acquisition of the business of Weco Proprietary Limited, a South African manufacturer of precision-engineered rock drilling parts and provider of related repairs and services.
Weco is based near Johannesburg, South Africa. The company, which has more than four decades of industry experience, has about 80 employees and had revenues in the fiscal year ending May 31, 2023, of about ZAR160-million (MSEK 90). Weco’s customers are mainly underground mining companies in the southern African region.
Epiroc announced on December 12, 2023, that it had agreed to acquire Weco.
The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price as the transaction is not subject to a disclosure obligation pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation.
