What APRIMIN | Asociación de Proveedores Industriales de la Minería does

APRIMIN (Asociación de Proveedores Industriales de la Minería) is a Chilean non-profit trade association, or gremio, founded in 2003 that represents more than 168 industrial supplier companies serving Chile's mining sector. Its membership spans technology, automation, engineering, logistics, maintenance, transport, food services, and specialized services, and operates within an ecosystem of more than 8,000 supplier companies nationally. The association coordinates seven standing corporate committees covering homologation and productivity, education, labor, ESG sustainability, innovation, investments, and women-in-mining, and runs recurring industry events such as Club de la Minería and Desayunos de Proyectos that connect suppliers with major mining operators including Freeport, BHP, Lundin Mining, CMP, Sierra Gorda, Antofagasta Minerals, Collahuasi, Teck, and Kinross.

APRIMIN does not develop or sell proprietary technology products; its core deliverable is a coordination, advocacy, and matchmaking platform funded by member-company subscriptions. Its 2024 pre-occupational health evaluation homologation agreement, signed with eleven major mining operators, and its 2026 Corporate Venturing initiative to connect startups with established suppliers, represent its most consequential recent programmatic moves. Governance is exercised through an elected board; the current president is Dominique Viera, with Ricardo Garib as vice president, and the organization is headquartered in Chile with limited but documented engagement in Peru and Argentina.
