Novatek develops, manufactures and provides hydropowered mining technology solutions to make underground mining safer, more productive and economic. We focus on providing ‘appropriate technology’ solutions that match the realities of our clients; their orebody and mining method, on-mine infrastructure, resources and available skills. We manufacture in-house and have a very high local content.
We also manufacture various products and components for other OEMS (Mining, Industrial, Defence, SOEs, etc) in our Johannesburg factory. We are able to collaboratively develop solutions that allow for import replacement at lower cost and higher availability.
As a response to Covid 19, Novatek developed fixed and mobile sanitising stations specifically aimed at mines and organisations treating a large number of people and worksurfaces. We have also partnered with the developer of a SANS certified water based sanitiser; it does not have the fire risk associated with alcohol-based sanitisers.
We are a wholly SA owned company and are passionate about quality and local manufacturing.
