Bradken Expands in South America to Strengthen Mill Liner Supply – Construction Underway

This expansion marks a significant milestone in our global growth, supporting our customers by boosting our capacity to deliver 103,000 tonnes of mill liners globally and underscoring our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and community development.

With an investment focused on manufacturing efficiency and sustainability, our latest foundry facility is designed to support Bradken’s capability to deliver steel mill liners in the local region by 20,000 tonnes, utilizing the largest equipment in South America and backed by cutting-edge technology that drives energy efficiency and minimizes environmental impact, with a goal of achieving 99.5% of electricity from renewable sources.

Our newest world-class foundry, dedicated to steel mill liner production, builds on the successful expansion of our composite mill liners at our Lima facility, enabling us to deliver a full

range of locally manufactured mill liners to support all mining applications in the South American region more efficiently. The foundry is expected to be fully operational by early 2026 and is projected to create approximately 200 direct and 1,200 indirect jobs, thereby making a meaningful contribution to local economic growth.

Designed with sustainability at its core, Bradken’s new Chilca facility will operate using advanced technologies to improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Our goal is for 99.5% of the plant’s electricity to be gained from renewable sources, supporting Bradken’s broader target of achieving carbon neutrality across Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030.

At Bradken, we believe our impact extends beyond products—we’re dedicated to making a positive difference in the communities where we operate. Our Chilca initiative places a strong emphasis on social responsibility, focusing on creating inclusive, high-quality jobs, promoting gender diversity, and investing in local talent development. We’re also actively supporting community programs in Chilca and other key mining regions to foster long-term regional resilience and prosperity.

Innovation is at the heart of our Bradken Chilca foundry. The facility will operate within a circular economy framework, focusing on custom alloy production, reducing waste, and enhancing recycling practices.

This forward-looking investment not only boosts our mill liner manufacturing capacity across South America but also enables us to deliver a combination of mill liner solutions that will strengthen Bradken’s position as a trusted, reliable and sustainable partner to the mining industry.
