Drill bit evolution

Soon all Atlas Copco Secoroc rock drilling tools delivered will be dressed in yellow–another step in strengthening the visual identity as part of the Atlas Copco Group. The company claims over 600 years of rock drilling wisdom, and is today the number one supplier of rock drilling tools in the world.

While the products themselves won’t change, from August 15 on Secoroc will start delivering yellow rock drilling tools from its facilities in Ockelbo and Fagersta (Sweden), Grand Prairie, Roanoke and Fort Loudon (U.S.A.), Langley (B.C.), Santiago (Chile), Johannesburg and Boksburg (South Africa), Pune (India), Xuanhua (China), and Muswellbrook and Perth (Australia).

Atlas Copco Construction & Mining Canada moved its Canadian sales and service office from Montreal to Sudbury in 2000, and currently employs 225 people in the Sudbury operation. More information can be found at www.atlascopco.com.
