Mining services provider Thiess celebrated the official opening of its new Thiess Rebuild Centre on Batam Island, Indonesia in January.
Located near Singapore, the rebuild centre will serve as a hub for rebuilding Thiess’ mining equipment for its operations in Asia and Australia.
“This purpose built, state of the art rebuild centre enables Thiess to play a bigger role in the future of sustainable mining,” Thiess Group executive chair and chief executive officer Michael Wright said.
“The rebuilt equipment and components will result in improved machine productivities, incorporating product updates and technology improvements, and delivering enhanced mining efficiencies at lower costs for our clients.
“It also establishes a platform for Thiess to explore decarbonisation and alternative fuel technologies, as well as the opportunity to provide these services to our clients in the future.”
The opening was attended by dignitaries and stakeholders, including Mayor of Batam and Head of BP Batam Muhammad Rudi, the Australian Ambassador to Indonesia Penny Williams, chairman of Kabil Integrated Industrial Estate Group Kris Wiluan, clients and industry leaders, key suppliers, community representatives and Thiess employees.
“The Thiess Rebuild Centre is the perfect demonstration of how we can leverage our global expertise and come together to provide sustainable solutions for our clients’ operations, as well as deliver asset management services to the mining sector globally,” Thiess Group executive of asset management, autonomy and digital Ramesh Liyanage said.
