2019: What’s In Store For Our 20th Year

Jan 8, 2019
The transition to a new year tends to bring a collective spirit of enthusiasm for new and existing goals, and fresh perspectives on how to achieve them. We’re definitely feeling that vibe here at Rock-Tech as we head into 2019 with some ambitious growth targets and determination to bring even more innovative products to the mining industry.
 
20th Anniversary Year
 
This year marks Rock-Tech’s 20th anniversary – an important milestone for us as we continue to build on our rock-solid reputation for premium products and service. While our history is undoubtedly important and has shaped where we are today, we are constantly looking to the future in order to adjust and ensure that we continue to meet the needs of an industry undergoing a dramatic transformation thanks to technology, innovation and overdue shifts in culture, inclusion and diversity.
 
The growth we saw in the past few years has taught us many lessons and we will strive to adapt and manage our successes with a learning mindset and our always unwavering dedication to a better experience for our customers.
 
Innovation
 
A stronger commitment to our R&D efforts in autonomous rockbreaker solutions is bringing renewed excitement to our engineering team. Stay tuned for updates on our advances in this technology as we move through 2019.
 
As I mentioned in our 2018 In Review post back in December, we’re seeing increased sales in our TITANIUM™ Gen II line of mine utility vehicles as more and more customers are recognizing the value this line of premium vehicles brings to their operations. We are poised to amp up production in this line as we build on that momentum.
 
Community Involvement
 
Rock-Tech is proud to sponsor groups and initiatives that make a difference in our community. As our industry faces increasing challenges in attracting skilled workers to fill labour gaps, Rock-Tech hopes to play a small part in supporting the next generation of our mining workforce.
 
Rock-Tech is a 2019 Gold Sponsor of Modern Mining & Technology Sudbury (MMTS) – an organization that promotes the many rewarding mining careers to elementary and secondary school students and the general public. MMTS will hosts its annual MMTS week from April 12-19, 2019.
 
We are also providing support to the Laurentian University Voyageurs Racing Club from the university’s Bharti School of Engineering to assist the team with its research, design and racing competitions. Plug in to our social media feeds (LinkedIn, Twitter) for updates.
 
Trade Shows
 
Rock-Tech will be exhibiting at mining shows throughout 2019, including:
  • PDAC 2019 – Booth #1036 – Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Toronto, ON – March 3-6
  • CIM 2019 – Booth #1215 – Palais des Congrès de Montréal, Montréal, QC – April 28-May 1
  • Canadian Mining Expo (The Big Event) – Exhibit O-19 – McIntyre Community Centre, Timmins, ON – June 5-6
We hope you will stop by to visit our team at these shows. Keep a pulse on our social media too – we may just have some swag to give away.
 
Our Team
 
Our growth and success would not be possible without the incredible team that works day in and day out to make Rock-Tech a great place to work and, of course, a premium choice for mining equipment and exceptional customer service. A social committee is gearing up in 2019 and will bring some exciting initiatives throughout the year. This group will work with colleagues to enhance our company’s positive workplace and safety culture.
 
We certainly have much to look forward to in the coming months. I encourage you to share your comments on what you would like to see from Rock-Tech in 2019.
