Epiroc
Epiroc is your partner for mining and construction equipment. Originating from the Mining and Rock Excavation Technique business area and the Hydraulic Attachment Tools division of Atlas Copco, Epiroc was formed and built on proven expertise and performance with a bold new drive to make what’s good even better.

Just like the name ‘Epiroc’ says, they want to be on top of things. Epiroc means “at or on rock,” coming from Greek and Latin roots. It reflects their core business, our proximity to customers and the strength of our partnerships.

More than a manufacturer, they aim to be a collaborative partner that keeps its promises. To deliver the performance you need to maximize productivity every day — as well as the technology you need to compete in the future.
