Earlier this year one of our clients from the Steelpoort area, made a recommendation, that we approach Tech North Steelpoort and appoint them as an agent. We then met with Jaco Potgieter from Tech North, negotiated, and came to an agreement in late September 2021, that Tech North Steelpoort, will become Hydromine Products’ agent to all Platinum and Chrome Mines near Steelpoort, Burgersfort and Lydenburg areas. They are a BBBEE Level 1 company with very good relationships with key players the local mining and construction sectors.

HYDROMINE™ Products have been working together with Tech North since late September and they have brought some very solid enquiries to the table. We are confident that Tech North will turn these enquiries in into valid orders very soon. 

The HYDROMINE™ Group have been supplying the mining industry in the said areas for many years and have a well-established installation base. The group have been facing a lot of challenges in these areas, as it is far from Johannesburg and difficult to service the area well from Johannesburg. Therefore, it was decided that it would be in the best interest of the company to find an agent for the area. 

Further negotiations with Tech North Steelpoort are underway to expand their area of responsibility to the mines in Phalaborwa, Mokopane and Venetia Diamond mine.
