Colcrete Eurodrill manufactures drill rods for African Goldmine

Colcrete Eurodrill works with Dints International to supply drill rods to African gold mine

Through our partner, Dints International, and as part of the UK Government’s ‘Exporting is GREAT’ campaign, we are now regularly supplying drill rods for eight drill rigs operating in one of Africa’s largest open-pit gold mines.

The rods featured are manufactured from our own specified heavy duty material, fitted with 3 1/2″ Reg connectors, and spanner flats to suit the drilling machines.
Dints is a specialist equipment supplier with important markets in Africa. Customers include major players in the mining, oil and gas, construction and energy sectors across some 18 countries.
‘As a valued supplier, Colcrete Eurodrill offers us good quality, cost-effective products, which fits in with our unique ‘vendor managed inventory’ concept.’ explained Geoffrey de Mowbray, CEO of Dints International.
Peter Weinrich, Colcrete Eurodrill Commercial Manager stated: ’Working with Dints International allows us to increase export sales without many of the costs associated with marketing our products and the challenges of cross border logistics and finance. The real value for us is accessing important export markets through Dints International.’
