Launching January 1, Volvo Mining will initially serve mining customers and their service providers in Sweden, Norway and Finland, with plans to expand into additional markets.
The new organization is designed to offer mining customers a single integrated business structure for products that have been previously dispersed across the Volvo Group, with a focus on the “productivity, safety and resilience” required by mining operations.
“Mining has been an important part of the Volvo Group for decades, but the industry’s growing significance calls for an even greater level of focus. With Volvo Mining as our center of expertise, we are combining capabilities from across the Group to further enhance customer value in collaboration with our retail partners. This will create new opportunities to strengthen our position in a strategically important and growing segment,” says Melker Jernberg, president of Volvo CE.
Volvo Mining will be housed under Volvo Group’s Construction Equipment division. Per-Erik Lindström, currently senior vice president of Volvo Trucks International, has been named head of Volvo Mining.
“As the mining industry evolves, customers are looking for partners who can help them improve productivity, strengthen safety and meet growing sustainability expectations. Our goal is to be a long-term partner in that transformation, helping customers create greater value through the combined strengths of Volvo Group. I look forward to working closely with customers and partners as we build this next chapter together,” says Lindström.
Unifying Existing Product Lines
Mining operations require multiple types of machines and vehicles working together across excavation, hauling, loading and transportation in demanding and often remote conditions. As mines continue to focus on improving productivity, reducing emissions and enhancing safety, the need for integrated solutions is increasing.
