Loading & Hauling Drilling & Blasting

Putzmeister has reached an agreement with GHH and Mine Master for the distribution and service of drilling jumbos, bolting rigs and load haul dumpers to complement the company's shotcreting equipment for tunnelling. The cooperation between the companies will start with Putzmeister distributing and marketing GHH and Mine Master machines in the Spanish market, possibly leading to global cooperation.

The Putzmeister Underground Concreting Division is a global market leader in shotcreting equipment for the stabilization of excavations, galleries and slopes in tunnelling and mining, whereas GHH and Mine Master provide machinery for the previous working stages of drilling and earth removal.

Through this mutual complementation of the product range, the companies broaden the product offering around the tunnelling process, resulting in synergy effects for customers of the Iberian Peninsular. Equipment and service solutions for all working stages can now be obtained from one source.

GHH Fahrzeuge and Mine Master form a global alliance, with Schmidt, Kranz & Co and GHH Fahrzeuge owning a share of 30% of the company.
