One issue widely analyzed in recent months was the image under which the equipment will be marketed given the prestige of both brands in the market. It was finally decided to unify all mining product lines and solutions under the Caterpillar name and brand.

CLIENTS In conversation with LATINOMINERÍA, Chris Curfman also highlighted this point: “Certainly underground hard rock mining is on the rise and we can see that this is the case not only in Chile and Peru, but also in the rest of the world, because mineralized bodies are increasingly being found at depth. There are some coal mining companies that are studying ever deeper expansions. And this is a critical issue for us as a business, particularly in China. This is a completely new opportunity,” he said. The executive also emphasized that “the strategy [of the new Mining structure] will be definitely focused on clients,” adding that the aim will be to provide the best solution, as well as safety and sustainability, among other priority objectives. But he explained that each mine has different requirements. For example, “Escondida in Chile is very different from Olympic Dam in Australia or Antamina in Peru”, three mines operated by BHP Billiton, one of the company’s global clients. This makes it a priority for us to have personnel in the field at the main mines. Asked about the importance of the merger with Bucyrus, Chris Curfman said: “This is the biggest acquisition we have ever made and we will have to work very closely with our distributors and clients.”
