Atlas Copco has won a repeat order for mining equipment valued at about EUR 8M from Hindustan Zinc to be used in the Rampura Agucha mine in northwestern India. The 13 units of equipment, which include long-hole drilling rigs, face drilling rigs and dump trucks, are scheduled to be delivered in 2013.
Atlas Copco was founded in 1873. It is based out of Stockholm, Sweden and has a global reach spanning more than 170 countries.
