Almina Chooses Sandvik for 32-Unit Fleet in Portugal

Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions has received an order from Portuguese distributor Cimertex to supply a 32-unit fleet to Almina Minas do Alentejo S.A. The order includes 20 Toro™ TH663i trucks, five Toro™ LH621i loaders, four Sandvik DS411 rock bolters, and three Sandvik DL421 longhole production drills. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in Q3 2024 and continue throughout 2025.

This equipment acquisition aims to enable Almina to double its production capacity in the Iberian pyrite belt to 6 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) and follows a previous 2023 order from Cimertex for 18 Toro™ TH663i trucks, all of which have been successfully delivered.

“This cooperation represents a strong mutual trust among Almina, Cimertex and Sandvik, and strengthens more than 20 years of collaboration with our strategic partner and Portuguese distributor Cimertex,” said Enrique Mota, Territory Manager for Iberia at Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions.
