MCI opens Regional Hub in Johannesburg

Faster, locally built solutions for Mining & Bulk Material Handling in Africa

MCI is strengthening its footprint in Africa. With the new Regional Hub in Johannesburg, we bring engineering expertise, local fabrication, and lifecycle service closer to the operations that need them most. The result: shorter lead times, lower total cost of ownership, and higher availability from project kick-off through long-term operation.

What changes for operators

Proximity matters. Being on the ground shortens decision cycles and accelerates execution—from design reviews to commissioning and service. Customers benefit from local pre-assembly, on-site collaboration, reliable parts availability, and predictable maintenance windows—each contributing to stable performance and lower lifetime costs.

Integrated portfolio—end to end

MCI delivers end-to-end solutions for surface mining, stockyards, and ports: continuous excavation and IPCC, crushing and conveying systems, stackers and reclaimers (including combined units), shiploaders, grab-type unloaders, and wagon loading/unloading. CAPEX projects and Aftermarket & Service are tightly linked: feasibility and design are carried through fabrication, installation, and commissioning, then supported by inspections, modernization and life-extension, digitalization/condition monitoring, training, and 24/7 support. The objective is simple—availability, performance, and safety over the full lifecycle.

Sustainability & compliance

Shorter logistics chains reduce transport emissions, while electrified, energy-efficient drives and dust-/noise-optimized material flows improve local environmental performance. Standardized HSE processes and adherence to national regulations give operators the compliance certainty they require.

Who will benefit most

Owners of surface mines and processing plants, cement and aggregates producers, kaolin/clay operations, and stockyard & port handling facilities, anyone seeking to upgrade throughput, reliability, and safety while reducing lifecycle costs, will see immediate advantages from a regional hub that integrates engineering, manufacturing, and service.
