TAKRAF South Africa, a company of the Tenova Group, a leader in material handling, has also benefited from Rossi SA, which has provided high performance solutions and an efficient assistance service. Rossi supplied EP series planetary gearmotors to drive power supplies to Tri-K Gold, a large gold mining project located in the Mandiana region of Guinea.

Also in the mining sector, EP series planetary gearmotors were used for material handling by the Sibanye-Stillwater company, the largest gold producer in South Africa and one of the 10 largest producers worldwide. Rossi participated in this project together with the Danish multinational FLSmidth, a supplier of plants, equipment and solutions for the cement and mining industry.

Rossi SA is able to provide, together with its partners, flexibility and efficiency in providing turnkey solutions with an excellent quality/price ratio and the certainty of global support provided by the Italian parent company. All qualities that make Rossi an important reference in the African continent, where the mining sector accounts for 7.7% of GDP. The sector, in fact, directly generates 460 thousand jobs - a figure that reaches 1.4 million if we also consider the related industries - and represents 15% of foreign direct investment and 10% of the capitalization on the Johannesburg stock exchange. ¹⁾
