"South America has always been on our radar, but to be successful we wanted to ensure we have a suite of wear parts products that are fit for purpose in the harsh conditions experienced in such countries as Chile and Peru" Martin Simpson stated. "With our advances in products and product design that suit Electric Rope Shovels and Hydraulic Excavators, the time is right to broaden our business footprint to include South America" Martin Simpson continued.

South America's mining opportunities continue to attract international capital which means that that continent will only increase as a mining destination in the coming years.

"Over the coming 12 months SIMCO will investigate ways in which we will enter the South American market, including by way of distributors, strategic partnerships or other approaches" Martin Simpson concluded.

Amongst SIMCO's many achievements was the delivery in 2013 of the World's largest carrying capacity Dragline Bucket to Queensland's Curragh Mine, which has the ability of moving payloads of over 260 tonnes of dirt per swing.
