Menu Epiroc During the spring, Rimaster began delivery of complex electrical cabinets that will be installed in Epiroc's above-ground drilling rig FlexiRoc D65. Patrik Andwester, Global Key Account Manager at Rimaster Electrosystem, and Therese Hallberg, Commodity Manager for Strategic Purchasing at Epiroc, report on the collaboration. Good relationship with Epiroc - We have collaborated with Epiroc since 2004 in the form in which the collaboration looks today. Epiroc is a large global company with different divisions and we collaborate with all divisions in Örebro with everything from new development to spare parts. Over the years, we have delivered cables, boxes, panels, electrical cabinets and cabins to Epiroc's various divisions, which is a good indication of how broad the collaboration is. - Our collaboration began on a small scale with simpler cabling, which today has grown to also include high-end products such as the electrical cabinets for FlexiRoc. Our business relationship has grown with the challenges that have existed in terms of technology and relationships, and we have developed a lot together. Patrik Andwester, Rimaster Electrosystem Epiroc needs - At present, there is great competition in the market for drilling equipment and we are constantly looking at how to find and develop better products at a lower price. At the beginning of last year, we saw an opportunity to develop the electrical cabinet that sits in our large above-ground drilling rig FlexiRoc D65, which is used in mining operations to drill holes for blasting. As a strategic buyer of electrical components, cabling and electrical cabinets in our above-ground division, I have the commercial responsibility towards our suppliers. We went out with a request for manufacturing to various suppliers and Rimaster, which has been an important supplier for a long time, of course received a request. There were several reasons why Rimaster then received the assignment. We looked at their competence, ability to incorporate complete solutions, how skilled and responsive they are at incorporating improvements in their own processes and how they ensure the quality of the products. Rimaster was, in combination with an attractive price, the supplier that was the best from a holistic perspective.
