TOMRA Mining strengthens its business in Western Australia

TOMRA Mining is investing in its operations in Australia to meet the rising demand for sensor-based sorting and be close to customers on the West Coast, with the opening of a second office in Perth, the appointment of Jordan Rutledge as new Sales Manager based at the new location, and the extension of its local support and service team. The company also supports its Australian customers with its well-established office and Test Center in Sydney.

TOMRA Mining has a well-established presence in Australia with installations operating in a variety of applications including lithium, industrial minerals, polymetallics and gemstones. It has operated in the country since the 1990s when Ultrasort entered the market, before being acquired by TOMRA in 2009. Over the years, its business has grown in response to the evolution in the industry: “The diamond, lithium, tin, tungsten, battery and strategic minerals sectors, as well as other progressive sectors that are open to new technology, have driven sensor-based sorting into the main mining process flow and design,” explains Gavin Rech, Technical Manager at TOMRA. “The focus on Environmental, Social and Governance and on reducing energy consumption has further contributed to this trend.”
