Utah-based drilling services company Boart Longyear has said its manufacturing plant in Poland completed an order for 12 LF160 drill rigs and FREEDOM Loaders for Australian drilling services provider Mitchell Services.

Boart Longyear said the equipment order, which was the facility's largest to date, involved the coordination of teams in Poland, Australia, Germany, and the US.

The order included a "highly customised" version of the LF160, a CE-certified surface coring drill rig.

Pat Nill, Boart Longyear's Vice President of Global Products, said, "We are very proud of what our Polish manufacturing team and local Australian teams have achieved, which required strong global coordination between the production, engineering, and R&D teams to meet our customer's specifications. The multiple teams truly embodied our corporate value of teamwork."
