Normet’s investment supports the continued growth of Motics and provides Normet with the opportunity to expand electrification in its existing and future products.

“The investment is part of our strategy to expand our offering in electrification in mining and tunnelling. With Motics’ technology expertise Normet is expanding its knowledge and scaling up its electrification efforts,” comments Ed Santamaria, President and CEO at Normet.
