Qld's best new mining products announced
As this year’s Queensland Mining and Engineering (QME) Exhibition draws close, some of the industry’s best new products have been recognised as part of the Queensland Mining Contractor Awards (QMCA).
The finalists in the QME Best Product Launch 2016 category this year include: Auxilium, for its light tower refurbishment; Consolidated Plastics & Epoxy, for its ‘Dragola’ Dragline Roller Assembly; Hella, for the launch of ZeroGlare to improve operator safety; and NSK Australia, following the development of its sealed Spherical Roller Bearings.
The awards, organised by Bowen Basin Mining Club, are held in conjunction with the QME Exhibition and seek to distinguish Queensland-based products that have made an impact on the industry in terms of innovation as well as other elements, including how resourceful and applicable they are.
The awards also showcase the strong industry credentials of Queensland’s many outstanding mining contractors and suppliers, particularly in light of the industry’s more competitive global landscape.
The QME Exhibition will be held at Mackay Showground from 26–28 July 2016. The winner of the QME Best Product Launch 2016 will be announced at an awards ceremony on 27 July.
