AUSTRALIAN mining engineering firm Sedgman has been named as the country’s 2011 Exporter of the Year, chosen from the winners of 12 national categories.
The Queensland-based Sedgman also won the National Minerals and Energy Award.
Established in 1979 and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange in 2006, Sedgman has international offices in Beijing, Santiago and Centurion targeting its key growth regions of China/Mongolia, South America and southern Africa. The company has more than 1000 employees and about 2300 contract staff servicing coal and metalliferous markets.
It generated total revenues of $A555 million in FY2011, up 65% on the previous year, with more than 20% of its business classified as exports.
Sedgman’s core activities are the design, construction and operation of coal handling and preparation plants, and mineral processing and materials handling systems.
Managing director Nick Jukes said the company would continue to expand into new territories and was “positioned very strongly in the coming year to deliver a range of projects” in Australia and around the world.
