Mining Wear Parts

What Mining Wear Parts does

Mining Wear Parts (MWP) is an Australian manufacturer and supplier of premium wear parts and components for the mining, quarrying, and recycling industries. Founded in 2016 by David Macfarlane and acquired by Mineral Resources Limited (ASX:MIN) in 2020, the company operates as a wholly owned subsidiary within MRL's CSI Mining Services business. MWP's product portfolio centers on crusher wear parts — manganese jaw, cone, and gyratory liners, mill liners, and impact crusher parts (VSI/HSI) — alongside bi-metallic wear parts, crusher bronze, Megapoxy crusher backing, ceramic wear tiles, Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) ceramic liners, Chromium Carbide Weld Overlay Liners, slurry and gravel pumps, and a full Ground Engaging Tools range for dozers, graders, and loaders. It also supplies refurbished complete crushers and maintains cross-OEM compatibility with Metso, Sandvik, Terex, Caterpillar, and other major brands.

The technical backbone combines precision casting through mature foundry relationships with proprietary engineering processes including in-house Hexagon 3D scanning, Six Sigma design methodology, and predictive analysis software that feed the Liner Development Program — documented to deliver 20%-200% wear-life improvements. Documented customer outcomes include a 71% increase in jaw crusher liner life for Northern Star Resources, a 73% reduction in D10T dozer GET cost-per-hour for a Goldfields contractor, and a 100% rotor-life improvement on first install.

The business model is B2B hardware sales with professional services attached: direct enterprise field sales from facilities in Yatala (QLD) and Henderson (WA) — both on 1+ hectare sites with 4,000sqm buildings — complemented by on-site crusher audits, 3D scanning, off-site workshop rebuilds, and engineered liner development. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with rapid delivery enabled by one of Australia's largest wear-parts stockholdings. Distribution is primarily direct across QLD and WA, with a 2024 exclusive New Zealand distribution partnership via Rocktec extending international reach. Customers are enterprise-tier miners and contractors across gold (Northern Star, AngloGold Ashanti Tropicana), manganese (ConsMin), iron ore (Pilbara miner), lithium, and quarrying segments.

Direct peers

• H-E Parts International: H-E Parts International is one of the largest independent aftermarket crusher wear parts suppliers globally, with strong presence in Australia. Directly comparable to MWP in manganese liners, crusher components, and GET, serving the same mining and quarrying customers in WA and QLD.
• Bradken: Bradken (acquired by ITOCHU and merged with Hitachi mining wear operations) is a major Australian mining wear parts and GET manufacturer with comparable product lines including crusher liners, mill liners, and ground engaging tools for the same customer base.
• Magotteaux: Magotteaux is a Belgian-headquartered specialist in wear-resistant cast parts for mining, including crusher liners, mill liners, and grinding media. Directly comparable product portfolio with strong Australian and global mining customer base.
• Columbia Steel Casting Co: Columbia Steel is a US-based manufacturer of replacement wear parts for crushers, including manganese and alloy steel liners for jaw, cone, and gyratory crushers. Direct aftermarket peer with similar engineering-driven approach to wear life optimization.
• Multotec: Multotec is a South African specialist in mineral processing equipment and wear products including mill liners, screening media, and cyclones. Comparable in serving hard-rock mining with engineered wear solutions, particularly in gold, iron ore, and base metals.

Broad incumbents

• Metso: Metso is the global leader in crushing equipment and a major supplier of OEM and aftermarket wear parts for jaw, cone, and gyratory crushers. While it competes in the same parts aftermarket, Metso's scale and OEM equipment positioning make it a broad incumbent rather than a pure-play aftermarket peer.
• Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions: Sandvik is a major OEM of crushers (including the CH440 referenced in MWP's product line) and a significant aftermarket parts competitor. Overlapping in crusher wear parts and GET but with broader equipment portfolio and global scale.
• FLSmidth: FLSmidth is a global incumbent in mining and cement equipment, with aftermarket wear parts and service offerings overlapping MWP's mill liners and crusher components. Broad incumbent competing through OEM relationships rather than dedicated aftermarket focus.

Regional players

• Pilot Crushtec: Pilot Crushtec is a South African crushing and screening equipment distributor with growing Australian and African footprint. Competes in mobile crushing wear parts and screening media, primarily serving aggregate and mining customers in Africa.

Emerging players

• Trelleborg Mining and Infrastructure: Trelleborg supplies engineered polymer and ceramic wear products for mining and mineral processing, including screen media and chute liners. Overlaps with MWP's ceramic and polymer wear product lines but with a focus on non-metallic solutions rather than cast manganese.
