What Nirox Ltd does

Nirox Ltd, trading as Nirox Trommels, is a private manufacturer of heavy-duty trommel screening equipment serving the mining and quarry industries. The company is headquartered in Ballymoney, United Kingdom, and operates manufacturing facilities in Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah (United Arab Emirates) to serve Middle East and Asia Pacific markets, with UK operations supporting mobile machines for other regions. Reported headcount is 1-10 employees and the firm is privately held with no disclosed funding, ownership, or financial history.

The company's core product is a family of rotating tumbling drum trommels that screen material using a rock-on-rock principle, with a scalping action that removes contaminated fines in the first section before separating the remaining material into clean sized products. The portfolio comprises six series covering every major deployment modality: RG (static), TRG (track-mounted), CRG (container), WRG (wheeled), SRG (skid-mounted), and Bespoke (custom-engineered). Throughput tonnage and product outputs scale with machine size, from the smallest mobile units to large bespoke systems shipped direct to site with localized assembly.

Nirox generates revenue through one-time capital equipment sales, distributed via a dealer network and direct enterprise sales. Customer references include marquee infrastructure and resource projects: the Palm Islands man-made islands in the UAE, gas projects in Australia's Northern Territories, Saudi Aramco projects in Saudi Arabia, and land and ocean wind energy industry supply. The company does not publish pricing and routes all inquiries through a web form and a centralized sales email. No digital product, software, AI, or recurring revenue model is disclosed.

Direct peers

• Metso: Global leader in mining and aggregates processing equipment, including screening solutions. Directly competes with Nirox in supplying screening equipment to mining and quarry operators, but offers a much broader portfolio (crushers, screens, mills, services) and global aftermarket network.
• Terex Corporation (Terex Finlay / Powerscreen): Through its Powerscreen and Terex Finlay brands, manufactures mobile trommel and vibrating screening equipment for quarrying and mining. Directly comparable to Nirox's track-mounted and wheeled trommel offerings for mobile screening in aggregate and mining applications.
• McCloskey International: Manufacturer of mobile screening, crushing, and washing equipment for quarry, mining, and recycling. Its trommel and screener product lines directly overlap Nirox's TRG, WRG, and SRG mobile series in target use cases and customer segments.
• Doppstadt: German manufacturer of mobile screening and shredding equipment for recycling, composting, and quarry applications. Overlaps with Nirox in mobile trommel screening for quarries and aggregates, though with a stronger focus on recycling/biomass feedstocks.
• MDS International: Irish manufacturer specializing in trommel and apron feeders for quarrying, mining, and recycling. Closely comparable niche player to Nirox, focused on heavy-duty trommel screening in aggregate and mining applications.

Broad incumbents

• Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions: Major mining equipment manufacturer offering drilling, loading, and rock processing equipment including screening. Comparable to Nirox as a supplier of equipment for hard rock mining and quarry operations, but with significantly broader product range and global service infrastructure.

Emerging players

• Keestrack: Belgian manufacturer of mobile crushing, screening, and conveying equipment for quarrying and recycling. Comparable mobile screening product line to Nirox's TRG/WRG series, typically targeting mid-sized quarries and contractors.
• Vermeer Corporation: US-based manufacturer of industrial and agricultural equipment, including mobile trommel screens for composting, recycling, and aggregate processing. Comparable mobile trommel product to Nirox, particularly in skid/wheeled configurations, though with broader industrial portfolio.
• Pronar Moblie Siebanlagen: Polish manufacturer of mobile trommel screens for composting, biomass, and aggregate applications. Overlaps with Nirox's mobile trommel product family (TRG/WRG/SRG), though typically positioned at lower throughput and price points.

Regional players

• Pilot Crushtec International: South African distributor and manufacturer of mobile and static crushing, screening, and washing equipment serving the African mining and quarry sector. Comparable in product offering to Nirox but geographically focused on Sub-Saharan Africa rather than Middle East/Asia Pacific.
