Skava Equipos y Suministros

What Skava Equipos y Suministros does

Skava Equipos y Suministros is a privately held Chilean specialty distributor headquartered in Providencia, Santiago, that supplies equipment, consumables, and certified technical services to underground mining operators in Chile and the broader Latin American region. The company's commercial core is an exclusive Epiroc distribution agreement covering underground and surface mining equipment, which gives it authorized access to original spare parts, OEM-backed warranties, and an Epiroc-certified repair workshop. Around that spine, Skava has assembled a multi-brand portfolio covering the full underground mining cycle: Mitsubishi Materials and NUMA for Top Hammer and DTH drilling consumables, Protan for textile and PVC ventilation ducts, Stancor for electric submersible drainage pumps, DeWalt for power tools and chemical/mechanical anchoring, Nelson Stud for stud welding equipment, and CME for bit grinding machinery.

Revenue is generated through one-time sales of equipment and spare parts together with professional services (certified drill maintenance, repairs, technical training, and drainage advisory). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led B2B: direct outreach and website/phone contact with underground mining customers, supported by a product-catalog website, downloadable technical datasheets, and a LinkedIn company page. Customer focus is on operators of underground extraction (copper, gold, and other minerals), tunneling, water well drilling, and pile installation projects that require certified parts and OEM-backed service to minimize equipment downtime. No revenue, headcount, ownership, or founding-date data is disclosed in the available sources.

• Caterpillar: Largest heavy-equipment and mining OEM globally, reaching Chilean mines via Finning. Indirectly comparable as a competing equipment and parts principal that establishes competing certified-service ecosystems for underground and surface mining.
• Komatsu: Major mining equipment OEM with active distribution in Chile (historically via Salinas y Fabres and similar channels). Competes in underground and surface mining equipment and aftermarket parts for the same Chilean copper and gold mines Skava serves.
• Atlas Copco (Industrial Air): Sister entity to Epiroc (post-2018 split) operating the industrial-side equipment portfolio including compressors, tools, and power solutions. Overlaps in mining-adjacent equipment sold to Chilean industrial customers alongside mining operators.
• Hitachi Construction Machinery: Mining and construction equipment OEM with a Latin American dealer footprint. Competes for underground and surface equipment spend at Chilean mines and operates parallel aftermarket parts and service offerings.
• Sandvik: Global mining and rock excavation OEM with direct sales and service operations in Chile. Competes head-to-head with Epiroc (Skava's principal) across underground drilling, loaders, and parts, often serving the same Chilean mining customers.

Direct peers
