Quarry Mining

What Quarry Mining does

Quarry Mining and Construction Equipment Pty Ltd (Quarry Mining) is an Australian, privately-held designer, manufacturer, and distributor of drilling equipment and related consumables for the mining and construction industries. Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Beresfield, New South Wales, the company operates three facilities - Beresfield (NSW HQ), Broadmeadow (NSW heat treatment), and Paget (Queensland, covering the Bowen Basin) - and employs 51-100 staff. Its product portfolio spans underground coal drilling systems, hard rock and tunnel equipment, self-drill anchors, pneumatic tools (including the proprietary Alminco Mantis and Gopher roof bolters), industrial accessories, and the Dust King dust suppression surfactant, distributed alongside third-party brands such as Wilden Pumps, Clark Mining, Loxford Fabrications, and (via the 2023 ADA de-merger) TEI ROCKDRILLS and CHEMGROUT.

Core technology centres on in-house manufacturing capability: a CNC Multi-Tasking Machining Centre for flexible custom part production, a Markforged 3D printing fleet with XRF inspection for composite and metal additive manufacturing, and a sealed quench furnace delivering certified heat treatment (carburising, neutral hardening, annealing, carbonitriding, stress relieving). Supporting services include custom design and fabrication, equipment hire (roof bolters, rock drills, grouting gear), repair and maintenance workshops in Newcastle and Mackay, on-site training, heat treatment, 3D printing, and reverse engineering. The company is ISO 9001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, and ISO 14001:2015 certified.

Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time equipment and product sales, recurring equipment hire, custom engineering and fabrication work, repair/maintenance workshops, heat treatment services, and additive manufacturing / reverse engineering. Go-to-market is sales-led, anchored by a technical team with hands-on experience at major Australian underground coal mines (North Goonyella, Ulan, Integra) and supplemented by an e-commerce storefront, a broad multi-brand distributor network, and full lifecycle service support. Primary customers are Australian underground coal mining operators, hard rock and tunnelling contractors, and general quarrying operations; the business remains domestically focused with no current international footprint.
