Joy Mining Machinery and JH Fletcher have announced the signing of an exclusive distribution and authorised service provider agreement. The agreement gives Joy the right to market, sell and service all Fletcher products to coal mines, as well as hard rock and industrial mineral mines that use Joy cutting products.

This agreement, which is effective immediately, covers all locations worldwide with the exception of North America, Australia and Norway where Fletcher will continue to market, sell and service its products as it has in the past, and coal mines in Poland where Joy’s rights will not be exclusive.

Jez Leeming, Joy’s global product director for bolter miners and bolters, said: “Fletcher’s mobile roof bolters are a welcome and complementary addition to Joy’s existing product line allowing Joy to offer customers a broad line of bolting solutions including mobile roof bolters for low seam applications under 1.8 m.”

Greg Hinshaw, president and COO of JH Fletcher, added: “Fletcher is excited about the distribution agreement with Joy Mining Machinery. Joy’s industry-leading global network of company direct-to-customer sales and service locations will be beneficial to our existing customers and expand Fletcher’s international presence."
