Epiroc finalises acquisition of MERNOK

Epiroc, a leading productivity and sustainability partner for the mining and infrastructure industries, has officially acquired South African company, Mernok Elektronik, in a bid to strengthen its position as a worldleading provider of automation and safety solutions for mining operations.

Mernok Elektronik, headquartered in Pretoria, South Africa, designs and produces proximity detection technologies and collision avoidance systems at a EMESRT Level 9 scale, all of which are applicable for either single machines or an entire mixed fleet regardless of the manufacturer or type of equipment.

The systems significantly reduce the risk of vehicle accidents, while strengthening operator safety and productivity. Epiroc announced in December 2022 that it had agreed to acquire the company.
