IMT Servicios Mineros & Industriales

What IMT Servicios Mineros & Industriales does

IMT Servicios Mineros & Industriales is a private Chilean mining and industrial services firm headquartered in Antofagasta — Chile's primary mining corridor — operating as a project-based specialty contractor to large mining operators. Its core offering spans engineering design, fabrication, mechanical and electrical plant maintenance, civil works, crushing services, mill lining, conveyor-belt maintenance, machining, shot blasting, and Harneros (industrial screening) repair and recovery. The company runs a Crane Division (División Gruas) with high-capacity assets including a Zoomlion 120-ton all-terrain crane, a Zoomlion 70-ton rough-terrain crane, and a Grove 45-ton rough-terrain crane, deployed for heavy-lift and mobilization on remote mining sites.

IMT's primary technical differentiator is a robotic orbital TIG welding cell (MU IV 195 HW with Polysoude beveling) integrated with a FANUC Arcmate 10iD and Selco Génesis 3200 PME MIG MAG system, described as unique in the region and capable of welding 200 inches/day versus 60 inches/day conventional throughput on 4-to-10 inch stainless and carbon-steel piping. The business model is engagement-based: custom project quotes, relationship-driven B2B sales to named enterprise clients including Mantos Copper, Centinela, Minera Escondida, Mantos Blancos, Minera Sierra Gorda, Minera El Tesoro, Albemarle, and Polpaico Mejillones, with field sales and a corporate site plus Expomin-driven lead generation. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; pricing is quote-based and project-negotiated, with the equipment fleet serving as both operational backbone and barrier to entry.

The company is privately held with no disclosed parent, no institutional funding, and a small disclosed employee base of 7 — consistent with an asset-heavy contractor that relies on subcontracted field labor. Management is led operationally by Guido Collao (Sub Gerente de Proyectos y Servicios) and Marco Saavedra Zepeda (Subgerente de Administración y Finanzas), with a stated vision to become a leading Latin American mining and industrial services firm.
