Moolmans is known for its dependable service and an unwavering commitment to delivering quality results.
Moolmans celebrates its 75th anniversary in the mining industry this year.
The company’s ongoing investment in its people as well as the processes, systems, and technology that keep it at the cutting edge will be critical for sustainable growth of the business. And the opportunities on the horizon for Moolmans are both exciting and promising. In August 2024, Moolmans took the opportunity to pursue independent growth strategies after its owner, Aveng, announced it would be exploring alternative ownership options. While these important engagements around the future of the business continue, Moolmans’ management team decided that it was an opportune time for a brand refresh. Building on the company’s solid reputation and 75 years of experience on the African continent, Moolmans’ bold new logo visually demonstrates a progressive outlook for the business and its advanced ways of thinking about mining in a world that is increasingly focused on sustainability imperatives. “This significant milestone in our remarkable history provides an opportunity to reflect on our proud history and notable track record of sound project delivery,” adds Dixon. “But importantly, it also provides an opportunity to consider the Moolmans of the future, where our position as the premier mining company on the African continent is cemented as we continue to deliver end-to- end open-cut mining and rehabilitation excellence. “More than that, we aim to be recognised as a company that cares for our employees, our customers and the communities in which we operate, crafting a better future for our stakeholders and delivering prosperity wherever we operate.” n
productivity, safety and efficiency” says Dixon. Boasting one of the largest and diverse fleets of mining equipment in Africa, Moolmans is now applying next-generation technology to transform the way its operations are monitored and managed. The company collects and analyses vast amounts of data by leveraging Internet of Things (IoT) devices, sensors, and advanced software, which allows for real-time monitoring of equipment performance and environmental conditions to help identify potential equipment failures and reduce downtime and costs. Remote Command Centres, recently created by Moolmans to enhance mining management and drive efficient planning processes, are showing outstanding results in reduced response times and enhanced safety. “Leveraging state-of-the-art communication technologies, operators can manage equipment, analyse data, and make real- time decisions without being physically present in the pit,” Dixon elaborates. Harnessing the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Moolmans has implemented AI algorithms which allow the company to analyse vast data sets, identify patterns and optimise mining operations with pinpoint precision, enabling smarter decision-making and more efficient resource management. “The future of mining is sustainable, smart, and highly advanced, and Moolmans is keeping pace with cutting-edge technologies and innovative solutions to achieve our vision of being the premier mining contractor in Africa,” Dixon emphasises.
