亞太美諾華股份有限公司

Minova International is the world’s leading provider of products, services and solutions for overcoming the challenges of controlling roof and strata in underground environments.

The company’s major market is underground coal mining, where Minova pioneered many of the rock support, ground consolidation and mine ventilation methods that have become industry standards.

Minova’s expertise in underground environments is now being applied in an increasing number of tunnelling and civil engineering projects around the world.

The company was founded on its expertise in chemical products such as resin capsules and injection chemicals. In recent years, the company has added a full range of steel and fibre glass bolts to its product portfolio, supported through a series of acquisitions and start-ups in Europe, Australia, China and the US, where it purchased Excel Mining Systems in 2007.

Minova now offers an unmatched range of products and services and is the only company in its field with a global reach. The company has entered into a global alliance with Atlas Copco, which allows it to include Swellex inflatable rock bolts and other well known Atlas Copco products in the Minova product offer.

Minova operates 26 manufacturing facilities in around 11 countries, producing such well-known products as Lokset resin capsules, Tekseal ventilation dams, Bevedol / Bevedan injection resin, Excel roof bolts and Turbo-bolter drilling machines.

As a company established by mining engineers, Minova has a strong technical foundation and a commitment to finding innovative solutions that boost safety and productivity.

Today, Minova is led by a mining engineer and many of its senior people have mining or geotechnical backgrounds. The company works in partnership with customers to get the best from its vast range of products and to custom-engineer solutions.

Minova’s offer to customers includes application equipment such as resin and cement pump, hand held drillers, accessories, technical support and application services. This sets it apart from many of its competitors.

Minova is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, following its acquisition in late 2006 by Orica, a world leader in the supply of product, innovation and knowledge to the mining industry.

Minova has grown rapidly since becoming part of Orica through acquisitions and expansion into new geographic markets. This growth is reflected in an increase in annual revenues from about $A400 million in 2006 to $A940 million in 2009.

Innovation has been a foundation of Minova’s success and will underpin its future. The company continues to invest in the search for better, safer and more productive ways to work underground through research and development at global centres of excellence in the US, Germany and Poland.
