Conax Machine Solutions will participate in this year’s Electra Mining Africa exhibition, showcasing its latest equipment, engineering capabilities and innovative solutions such as a low-profile face rig and remote demolition rig, at stand B25, in Hall 6. Since 2011, mining, industrial and agricultural machine developer Conax Machine Solutions has been designing and manufacturing innovative equipment that improves safety, productivity and efficiency across the mining, construction and industrial sectors.

At Electra Mining Africa (EMA) 2026, electric motors and drive systems supplier Innomotics returns under the theme “Reliable motion for sustainable mining”, with plans to demonstrate how integrated technologies can help mining companies operate more efficiently while supporting their sustainability ambitions. At EMA 2026, Innomotics will showcase its latest innovations in motor and drive technology, grid stabilisation and integrated mining solutions, providing a platform for visitors to experience the company’s model mine that demonstrates innovative applications of its technology.

Diagnostic services services provider WearCheck will use this year’s Electra Mining Africa (EMA) 2026 to demonstrate how its comprehensive range of laboratory and field-based services helps organisations make informed maintenance decisions based on scientific analysis rather than reactive repairs. At EMA 2026, vistors to WearCheck’s stand can explore how modern condition monitoring technologies are helping mining and industrial operations reduce downtime, extend equipment life and improve maintenance planning.

Women are taking on an increasing number of roles across the mining value chain, including within companies that design, manufacture, deliver and support the equipment and technologies used by mining operations, reports filtration equipment manufacturer and mining-sector service provider Roxia. While mining has traditionally been viewed as a male-dominated industry, Roxia says women are now contributing across a range of functions both at mine sites and within the businesses that support modern mining operations.

Allied Pipe & Fittings South Africa supplies a comprehensive range of steel piping materials for mining and power-generation projects, including pipes and tubes, buttweld fittings, flanges, valves, large-radius bends, lined and clad pipes, and bespoke components. Products support applications in the mining, electric and thermoelectric sectors, backed by the engineering and manufacturing capabilities of the Allied International Group, including that of subsidiary Tectubi Raccordi – manufacturer of products for thermal and nuclear power plants and other power-generation markets.

Africa’s drive to move further down the mineral value chain is creating demand for increasingly advanced processing and refining infrastructure, with piping systems facing greater requirements for reliability, material performance and service life. Allied Fittings Africa, part of the Allied International Group, says this is contributing to growing demand for specialised materials and engineered piping solutions.
