Enerpac Global Mining Manager focuses on productivity, safety and cost savings

The world’s leading specialist in extreme force tools, Enerpac, has appointed a Global Mining Market Manager, Mr Anders Mangen, to further strengthen Enerpac’s focus in the mining industry.

Mr Mangen - a mechanical engineer with a BSc in Business Administration and Economics - brings to his role 30 years experience in high precision, high safety and high efficiency technologies.

These include multinational business management, engineering and marketing roles and, before his key roles with Enerpac, Mr Mangen was involved with other market-leading global companies, including Leica Geosystems and SKF where his roles encompassed entire new products and services for world mining and mining machinery manufacturing companies.

Mr Mangen previously led Enerpac Asia Pacific teams whose expertise includes lifting, shifting and manoeuvring some of the world’s heaviest and most challenging objects and structures. Projects in which he has been involved include lifting of mining draglines, safely positioning huge (up to 1500 ton) ball mills to accuracies within fractions of a millimetre and employing synchronous hydraulic systems to safely monitor the centre of gravity of massive objects during lifting, including a 16-storey, 200-metre long dredger of 2200 tons.

He has co-ordinated the introduction to key mining markets of innovative and durable Enerpac technologies, including new families of professional bolting and synchronous lifting technologies, Enerpac Duo lifting cylinder ranges, energy efficient ZU pumps and the broader ranges of high-pressure (700 bar) hydraulic technologies for which Enerpac has been a global market leader for more than 50 years.

Mr Mangen says Enerpac has an exclusive position built on its emphasis on quality, innovation and service, making Enerpac the leading brand and preferred supplier of tools and integrated solutions to the global mining industry.

“We are in a unique position to continue developing further as a capable and trusted mentor to the mining market, building the brand as the authority to whom customers go first when seeking complete service, systems and reliability. Because we offer global force capabilities combined with local expertise and solutions, we can draw upon the high levels of experience and knowledge to extend our role in one of the World’s most important and rapidly growing industries.

“Like the outstanding performers of the mining industry, I have a lifelong passion for quality, which I believe is vital to the sales and service process in mining. I want always to be able to look people in the eye when we are doing business with them, knowing that we can deliver what we promise, that we can do what we say we can do. This is so important to building and sustaining relationships,” says Mr Mangen.

Minimising customers’ downtime will be a key element of his new role within Enerpac, where he will promote technologies that respond to the unique needs of the mining industry: “We are very aware of the industry’s ongoing need for tools that can stand up to the wear and tear of naturally aggressive environments day after day - tools that can forgive, without failure, demands that would kill lesser brands. Our objective is to put into miners’ hands the right tools, with well trained users, to achieve high tool availability and the safety and cost-efficiency that brings.”
