COMPANY PROFILE
Eric Snyder, owner of GeoFirma. The solution was found
with the new TEI MT100 Mountain Drill, a drill that uses an
onboard electric motor to turn the hydraulic pump.
From civil work to mining, TEI is a consistent solution
provider. For example, TEI’s new TE160 Hydraulic
Drifter delivers Brokk Power and Safety to mines, demolition
and tunneling applications. The Brokk/TEI combination
eliminates fatigue caused by operating the heavy handheld
tools, improves overall drilling accuracy and promotes safety
by allowing operators to stand farther away from the drilling
site.
“We also have new Percussion Drills in the market and in
development. These represent the first new percussion drills
“Because we handle
all the manufacturing
aspects, we can be very
responsive to customers
that may require
modifications or faster
service.”
– Donna Rousse, Production
Manager, TEI Rock Drills
in the last 25 years and show our commitment to innovation,”
said Patterson.
Frank agrees. She says that TEI has seen good gains in the
South African mining sector and is moving well in Canada
where TEI is present in mining as well as civil projects such
as roadwork in the Fort McMurray area.
“Now, we are expanding into Asia. This will be a big step
in the next five years, but one made easier thanks to our ISO
certification and our strong quality culture here,” she said,
concluding that TEI Rock Drills has succeeded because of the
people behind the quality. “TEI is a unique group of people
who are involved and on a mission. We might be a small company,
but we are achieving great things.”
