Our SRP
Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions
WELCOME
Dear colleague,
Welcome to a brand-new issue of our business area newsletter, where we aim to give you a short overview of the activities and achievements that we accomplish together - world-wide - here at Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions (SRP).
Our updated strategy
You have probably seen by now that we have updated our business area (BA) strategy (page 7). The BA strategy is interlinked with the division strategies and in it you will recognize strategic objectives from all of our divisions. On our intranet strategy pages you will find a lot of useful information about the new strategy, including some presentation material. I can also recommend you to take a look at the strategy calendar that was published daily during May. The calendar gives you bite-size information about the BA strategy, with examples and short videos explaining the different elements. I encourage you to discuss in your team how your strategy and objectives support the overall goal.
Safety
We have been on a good track as regards LTIs (Lost Time Injuries), but in April unfortunately 3 Lost time injuries occurred (Stationary Jandakot Australia, ATD Cleveland US and Sales Area Northern Europe Sweden) and 3 Restricted Work Injuries. The Hazardous close out ratio has increased slightly, which is good, but is still not reaching the 95 % target. I want to repeat that it is crucial to continuously improve the reporting of hazards. And equally important that we implement preventive and corrective actions based on the investigation findings!
We have now entered June, with the annual vacation period coming up in the northern hemisphere. I will get back in July, after the Quarter 2 report, with a Words from the President and a short video that replaces the Q2 webinar. Until then, thank you for all your hard work and efforts this first half of the year. And, most importantly, make sure to enjoy some well-earned relaxation if your vacation is approaching.
Stay well and stay safe.

Safety innovation in Brazil
A working at heights risk was identified in the assembly area of the Taubate production unit in Brazil (Stationary Division). Due to the nature of the tasks carried out at height, a standardized safety solution was not suitable for addressing this risk in a sufficient manner.
In March, the EHS team at our Taubate factory in Brazil implemented a safety device to enable employees in the assembly area to carry out their work activity at height safely. The purpose of this device is to mitigate the fall from heights risk for any activity carried out above 2 meters from ground level. The safety mechanism will engage to prevent injury, should there be an accidental fall or trip.
The device is easy to use on different work fronts and comfortable for the employees. Its height can vary between 4.5 and 6 meters, thus meeting all our needs. The safety review of the device and its operation were verified and validated by an external engineering company.
To know more, please contact andre.santos@sandvik.com or arley.fernandes@sandvik.com.
Continuous improvements in Cleveland
Attachment Tools in Cleveland (USA) embarked on a journey of continuous improvement in 2023. The initiative involved curating a list of 100 improvement opportunities, both big and small. The primary goal was to foster a culture of innovation and enhance organizational awareness regarding the positive changes and achievements within our ranks.
To date, we have successfully logged 109 improvements. A few notable examples include:
• New digital evaluation forms for our Renewed and Certified hammer program, streamlining the assessment process.
• A completely revamped CNC (computer numerical control) manufacturing approach for a critical part, resulting in a remarkable increase in output — from 2 products per day to an impressive 18 products per day.
These efforts reflect our commitment and dedication to driving meaningful progress across the organization. More information: mikael.k.larsson@sandvik.com
5 accident free years in France
SRP in France (Stationary Division) is proud to announce five accident-free years. This achievement testifies to our commitment to continuous improvement, underpinned by a strong health and safety culture and the sharing of best practices. This requires active involvement at all levels of the company, with the participation of every employee.
Our warmest thanks go to all SRP France employees for their contribution to this important milestone. As we celebrate our accident-free fifth anniversary, our main objective remains to maintain a risk-free working environment for all. More information: pricilia.mbongo@sandvik.com
Health promotion activity in China
During the last week of April in China, we observe the National Occupational Disease Prevention Act promotion week. Simultaneously, our SRP Fengxian site prioritizes the health and safety of our employees as a central concern in our daily operations. On April 26th, we hosted an event where medical professionals from the local community hospital introduced common disease prevention strategies, mental health awareness, and the requirements outlined in the national act against occupational diseases. This initiative was conducted with the support of the local public health supervision authority.
Apart from enhancing health awareness among our staff, this activity also fosters trust between the local authority, our staff, and our Fengxian site. Notably, this marks the second time we have collaborated with the local authority for a knowledge-sharing event at our Fengxian site. In September 2023, we also organized a first aid course, facilitated by the local public health department. More information: mike.wu@sandvik.com
Celebration of National Safety Week in India
On the 53rd National Safety Week in India in March all employees, including contractors, at Assembly Center Pune, Regional Sourcing Office India (Pune) and the SRP foundry in Vadodara reiterated their commitment towards safety & environment. The National Safety Council of India had set this year’s theme to be “Focus on Safety Leadership for ESG* Excellence” and the event started
with a “Safety Oath” by the leadership team along with all the employees. This was an opportunity for everyone to reflect on the role of each individual as a safety leader for maintaining a safe and sustainable workplace and to re-affirm our commitment towards it. Then a series of activities, including various trainings, were carried out at both the Pune and Vadodara sites during the week.
Employees wholeheartedly participated in the activities including poster and slogan competitions, safety trainings etc. More information: pravin.dumbare@sandvik.com
*ESG= Environmental, Social, Governance
Language fika in Sweden
The Svedala site (Stationary Division) D&I Network has introduced an activity called language fika*, and the first meeting was held in March. At the language fika, 25 colleagues met up over some nice cake to get to know each other. The conversations were held, almost completely in Swedish. There was a good mix of participants, both from different departments and with language skills ranging from just a few Swedish words to native Swedish speakers. Friendly colleagues, gestures and laughter helped everyone understand each other (more or less). Svedala has so far hosted two language fikas, and the plan is to arrange them on a monthly basis.
If you have any questions about the language fikas or want to join in an upcoming fika just contact albin.svennelid@sandvik.com or someone else from thhe Svedala D&I network.
*Fika is a Swedish tradition that involves taking a break to enjoy coffee (or tea) and pastries while socializing with others.
EHS recognition scheme
Mobiles Division has launched a Recognition Scheme to recognize and reward safety observations or planned task observations. The latter are used to recognize and reinforce positive safety behaviors as well as promoting conversations where unsafe behaviors are observed to try and prevent their reoccurrence in the future. Along with a safe environment (helped by raising of hazards), these safer behaviors can help us on our journey to zero harm. So far, the team has reviewed over 100 safety observations that were submitted from January – April and have recognized two observations.
The Power Pack team was demonstrating a lift, which, although they felt it was difficult, they completed safely. During the lift, Derek Knox, Assembly Operative had a good suggestion for a small stillage which could be fabricated to greatly reduce the difficulty of the lift. Derek’s suggestion won due to completing a lift safely and at the same time driving an improvement to minimize the lift in the future. A great example of identifying a solution to support driving a safety improvement.
We also selected Jamie Winnery for recognition as an issue was raised. There was good collaboration between the functions and an improved way of working was implemented. Jamie listened to evening shift assembly as they described a challenging problem where feeders had to be flipped to fit motors. They described what they thought a good solution for a flipping table could be, Jamie designed it and specified it according to the requirements of the stress engineer.

Remote Monitoring Services –From Pilot to Paying Customer
From December 2023 to March 2024, we had the opportunity to pilot our new offering Remote Monitoring Services (RMS) with our customer Björkdalsgruvan. Björkdalsgruvan is a gold mine located in the northern part of Sweden. They are running a close circuit with 2xCH865 in tertiary stage. During this pilot we used our digital platform SAM to monitor the customers equipment and operation remotely, we provided the customer with monthly reports outlining overall performance, highlighted any issues present in the data and of course provided our customer with recommended actions to solve those issues!
During this period, we helped our customers to solve mechanical issues, avert events that could have led to unplanned stops and
provided expert guidance regarding their equipment’s settings and operation. The results were satisfying for both Sandvik and Björkdalsgruvan, together we will continue with the RMS after the pilot phase. We are now running RMS as a full-scale product.
For the upcoming quarter we plan to launch more pilot studies for RMS where we aim to learn more about our customers’ needs and create an offering that will advance and strengthen our service portfolio! More information: ali.jumaa@sandvik.com
Have you seen the updated SRP strategy and calendar?
Since we created Sandvik Rock Process Solutions in 2021 there has been a fast pace in developing our business and today we are not the same company as when we started. We have grown our revenues from 7.6 BSEK in 2021 to 11.5 BSEK in 2023. We have acquired companies to widen our offering and at the same time continued to develop our existing offering. All with the ambition to be #1 in eco efficient rock processing!
Given all of this we have made a strategy review and the new updated strategy was launched at the end of April. We have updated the intranet strategy portal and here you can read about our objectives, growth areas and key initiatives. As well as about growth drivers and competitors in our industry. We will continue to update the strategy section going forward.
The SRP strategy is not just a document, it’s a living road map that we all contribute to! It is important that we continuously discuss where each and every one of us fit in. Each piece of the puzzle is important.
Check-out the strategy calendar
During the month of May there have been daily posts on the intranet, that have highlighted and explored a new strategy topic each day. Among other things there were several short videos with SRP managers talking about the different elements and how their areas support the strategy. Did you miss the whole calendar or some of the calendar entries? Not to worry, all the calendar posts can be found on the intranet.
Poised to complete the SP Mining integration
Following our acquisition of the Schenck Process (SP) mining related business in November 2022, our teams have been working hard behind the scenes to bring our new offering and capabilities to market.
In October last year, we reached a key milestone in the integration of SP Mining into our business area, when we changed the names of the legal entities that came with the Schenck Process acquisition. The newly acquired entities provide us with a much better global reach, particularly in geographies where we previously had little presence. This is especially true in Australia, where Sandvik Rock Processing only had a small team, while SP Mining had the majority of its engi-
neering and R&D teams as well as production and service facilities in Australia. Schenck Process Australia, which employed over 400 people became Sandvik Rock Processing Australia, which is now a major hub for our new, global Screening Solutions Division (as of July 1).
Since the renaming of the legal entities, the integration of the SP Mining business around the world has been a key focus for our teams. Part of this work includes the rebranding of all aspects of the business. In parallel the SP Mining and Kwatani equipment offerings have been united under the Sandvik brand. The result is an unparalleled range of vibrating screens, feeders, screening media and train loaders.
In early May we achieved another key integration milestone, shipping out the first Sandvik branded SP Mining screen from our Jandakot production facility in Western Australia. Pleased with the result, our Global Head of Marketing – Screening Solutions, Peter Newfield, previously Head of Marketing APAC for SP Mining, said,
“Apart from the change to the look, branding and Sandvik nomenclature, nothing else has changed. Our legendary reliability, technology and aftermarket support remains as our customers have come to expect. We are now better equipped than ever to help our customers to optimise their comminution and material handling operations for maximum performance, safety, and efficiency.”
Commenting on the new offer, Newfield says that combining the industry leading screening, feeding, and loading expertise of Schenck Process Mining and Kwatani with Sandvik’s mastery of crushing and wear protection, allows us to bring an unrivalled equipment line-up to market.
“This unique offering is underpinned by the expert process knowledge of our teams, a full range of digital tools, high quality OEM spare parts, consumables, and life-cycle services.”
But the integration isn’t just limited to the equipment. Newfield says that it has been a major project that involves every part of the business. In essence, the acquired Schenck Process entities have become Sandvik Rock Processing entities and so SP Mining staff had to embrace the Sandvik culture and learn our company’s systems, and ways of working.
“Of course, a big part of the integration is making sure that our key stakeholders understand the benefits of us becoming a fully integrated part of Sandvik. It takes time for people to adjust to change, and they need to know what is happening throughout the process. We have worked hard to communicate the changes to all our key stakeholders including our customers and employees.” He said.
“We are now changing the branding of all our Australian facilities, our motor vehicles, and the work clothes that our people wear on the job every day. Our website and other marketing collateral is also being changed
to showcase our new product offerings and brand.” Newfield says that he expects the rebranding projects to be complete by the end of June which is the final step in the integration process.
“Our new offering along with the advances that our combined R&D teams are making, allow us to partner with our customers to address our industry’s biggest challenge - making mineral processing more eco-efficient.”

Increased order intake on HSI and VSI Impactors
Order intake in 2024 on our HSI (Horisontal Shaft Impact Crushers) and VSI (Vertical Shaft Impact Crushers) ranges is showing a good performance resulting in a monthly record for April. Stationary Division has secured significant orders for the impactor range, thanks to the support from various sales areas, for example India, SEMEC, Northern Europe and Latin America. The diverse sales mix, both geographically and in terms of crusher models and applications, contributes to a more stable profitability for this product range.
The success relates to several factors. Primarily the focused and intensive collaboration between global sales, the crushing solutions product teams, performance developments, and many others who share the passion to win. While impactors are predominantly used in the infrastructure segment for crushing sand for concrete production, we are proud to announce two orders for VSI crushers for recycling steel mill slag in Finland.
Let’s continue to work and win together, to leverage this positive momentum and make this a successful year for our impactor range. Read the full intranet news here. More information: heiko.kertscher@sandvik.com
S-range expanding to replacement business
Product line S-range from Screening Solutions (Stationary Division) has recently increased the capability to expand and support stationary replacement business of screens in the infrastructure customer segment. This by engineering a series of metric dimension configurated screens based on the design of late 2023 launched SJ-Infra series with increased availability. These metric versions are an enabler for one-to-one replacement at markets where the majority of the installation base are metric configurations instead of imperial. These new
configurations are developed in terms of proactive territory specific replacement concept (TSR) and aimed to replace Sandvik legacy fleet like CS-series but also installations of the main competitors in each relevant sales territory. In case you have a potential replacement opportunity, or want more information, don’t hesitate to contact: mikko.vesanto@sandvik.com
The journey of Stationary Division’s Jaw crushers product Line this year has been nothing short of remarkable. With an outstanding kickoff in sales, the expansive range of Jaw crushers, including the CJ613, CJ615, and CJ815 models, has captured the market’s attention.
Year-to-date, our tally stands at an impressive 18 units sold, marking a 50% surge in Order Intake compared to previous year. This exceptional performance is mirrored in the balanced sales split between the Mining and Infrastructure sectors, a testament to the universal appeal of our products.
Experience the power of collaboration:
Elevating jaw crusher sales to new heights
At the heart of this triumph lies teamwork & focus. Through unwavering collaboration, our sales area and product line teams have seamlessly merged their expertise and communication channels, igniting a synergy that propels our business forward.
