By GlobalDataThis partnership can perhaps be best understood in light of Covid-19, which several analysts, industry executives, and commentators have forecast to spark an uptake in technological solutions such as automated trucks and remote monitoring systems – technologies that could help mining companies bounce back quickly in the post-pandemic economic recovery. RCT partnering with an established global supplier expands the reach of its products to new customers at a time where mining companies are taking an increased interest in innovative technologies for their operations.
Executives comment on the partnership
Reliable Industries international sales manager Christopher Callow welcomed the partnership with RCT, saying: “RCT has a vast array of quality products that solve many problems which our clients encounter across the scope of their organisations.”
RCT dealer and project manager Andrew Sells said both companies stand to benefit from the partnership: “RCT and Reliable Industries both have reputations for providing quality technology options around the world and going forward we can offer our services to a very broad customer base.
“We regard Reliable Industries as a very competent partner with a history of supporting clients in all of their operational needs.”
