South Africa’s mining supply chain took a confident step onto the global stage as members of the South African Mineral Processing Equipment Cluster (SAMPEC) and the Mining Equipment Manufacturers of South Africa (MEMSA) participated in PERUMIN 2025, one of Latin America’s most influential mining conventions.
The delegation, comprising Consulmet, Bird Machines and Roytec Global, represented just some of the depth and capability of South Africa’s mining technology, equipment, and service sectors, demonstrated world-class innovation across mineral processing, mining engineering solutions, and advanced manufacturing. Their presence reinforced South Africa’s reputation as a competitive and collaborative partner to the Peruvian and broader Latin American mining industries.
SAMPEC and MEMSA members enjoyed an unforgettable evening of high-level networking and celebration at the prestigious Golden Mining Gala, attended by the “who’s who” of the South American mining sector.
The 𝘾𝙤́𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙡 𝙂𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙣 𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙂𝙖𝙡𝙖, hosted by Conamin – the National Mining Congress, Banco de Crédito BCP, and Compañía de Minas Buenaventura, offered VIP exhibitors at PERUMIN an exceptional opportunity to unwind while engaging directly with senior leaders from the biggest mining houses across LATAM.
The evening once again demonstrated the tangible value of collaboration between industry bodies and the power of collective representation in positioning South African mining engineering and manufacturing on the global stage.
A significant highlight of the programme was the exclusive opportunity for members to present to the Mining Engineering Chapter of the Colegio de Ingenieros del Perú (CIP Lima). This engagement enabled South African companies to showcase technical expertise, exchange knowledge with Peruvian industry leaders, and explore opportunities for collaboration in mineral processing, local value chain development, and operational efficiency.
The meeting was attended by Eng. CIP Jorge Soto, president of the Lima CIP Chapter, accompanied by Eng. CIP Juan José Quiroga, secretary of the Mining Engineering Chapter of CIP Lima, and Eng. CIP José Terrones, deputy secretary of the Mining Engineering Chapter of CIP Lima, together with the members of the Board of Directors.
SAMPEC is excited to extend an invitation to companies for self-funded participate in an SA Pavilion at WAMPEX, within the Grand Arena.
WAMPEX is the largest and most established mining and industrial trade show in West Africa, attracting buyers, EPCs, government and private sector decision-makers from across ECOWAS, with strong participation from mining houses and major project developers.
Proposal:
Exhibition stand space within the Pavilion (27-36sqm) accommodating 5-8 exhibiting companies
Custom stand build
Shared meeting space
A 20min Technical Presentation – Innovation Stage
Co-ordinated flights, accommodation, transport and freight
The mining sector is at a “critical turning point”, as rapid advances in digital and automation technologies, particularly AI, redefine how mines operate and compete, says mining equipment manufacturing cluster Mining Equipment Manufacturers of South Africa (MEMSA) and SA Mineral Processing Equipment Cluster (SAMPEC), marketing and communications officer Sue Breckenridge.
“AI can help create safer, more productive operations, but we need to make sure it also supports local development and job transformation. With the right partnerships and local innovation, South Africa can lead the way.”
SAMPEC together with Mining Equipment Manufacturers of South Africa (MEMSA), represent the local mining equipment value chain.
