Minnovare: changing the environmental face of drilling
A Perth-based company is changing the face of drilling operations in mines around the world.
Minnovare was originally formed to leverage the demand for improved accuracy and efficiency of drill rig alignment in the Mining and Civil Engineering industries. The company was founded in 2012 for the purpose of developing, producing and distributing the Azimuth Aligner.
As a result of the successful launch of the Azimuth Aligner in Australia, Minnovare has now expanded use and distribution of the product internationally.
Minnovare is focused on becoming a leading integrated technology company, concentrated on the development and distribution of products designed to eliminate manual, labour intensive and unproductive processes from global mining, civil construction and oil and gas operations.
Minnovare was acquired by Swedish company Hexagon in 2022, and will become part of Hexagon’s mining division.
