MineCom gets US distributor

MineCom, a Australian manufacturer of communications and electronic equipment for underground mining and tunnelling projects will have its products distributed through to the US channel through a distribution agreement with US-based Pyott-Boone Electronics.

Based in Virginia, US Pyott-Boone Electronics has been providing communication and monitoring technologies to the US coal mining industry for 35 years.

Michael Johnson, export sales manager at MineCom said a formal agreement was the inevitable outcome of what has been a strong commercial relationship between our two organisations, for a number of years.

MineCom has been improving the productivity and safety of global mine site and tunnelling operations for nearly 20 years. The lynchpin of MineCom’s product range is its Leaky Feeder systems that provide the backbone for voice, data and video capabilities.

He said the timing of the partnership could not be better as many American mining companies are currently in the process of upgrading their communications networks.

“The US coal industry is currently faced with an urgent need to track underground activities. Our products enhance operations through numerous safety and productivity benefits,” said Johnson.

MineCom is a subsidiary of TR Corporation, a group of specialised brands offering a variety of cutting edge technologies to business.

MineCom has offices located in Melbourne, Australia and agents located in South Africa, Russia, Poland, Sweden, UK, Spain, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Peru, Chile, Canada, USA, China, Indonesia and New Zealand.
