The CEO of NEPEAN, Miles Fuller, said: “Our investment in Ellton Conveyors, and more importantly Elltons’ customers, is a commitment to the industry, and further strengthens NEPEAN as a highly trusted conveyor partner with deep skills and application knowledge. This is an exciting opportunity to bring together two of the industry’s leading businesses in conveyors and bulk materials handling and to deliver an unmatched service to the industry”.

NEPEAN® has indicated that significant benefits can be delivered to the combined customer base. The opportunity to share and optimise product, technology and methods, expand capability and better service its customers’ needs will be key outcomes. According to the company. rationalisation of shared services, as well as general economies of scale in supply and project execution, will drive cost efficiencies being sought by our mining customers.

Ellton Conveyors’ customers will continue to receive ongoing technical support from staff who understand their operations’ needs and conveyor history.

Our highly passionate employees, technical strength, lean overheads, vertically integrated capabilities and the respect we have earned from the industry over 30 years positioned us for this exciting growth opportunity. We recently won major projects like Metropolitan, Cadia and Moolarben, which is a massive underground conveyor system. It is also proof of our strategy, and our relentless customer focus. I am extremely proud of the NEPEAN Conveyors team.”

“The acquisition of Ellton Conveyors comes in parallel with our continuous efforts to improve our customers operations, lower their operating costs and do so in the safest and most environmentally sustainable way”, Munday stated.
