QME returns to Mackay in July

From 22 to 24 July, the Queensland Mining & Engineering (QME) Exhibition will return to the Mackay Showground. The biennial mining industry event is set to feature high-calibre suppliers including including Hastings Deering (CAT), Hitachi, Siemens, Sandvik and Atlas Copco.

Celebrating its 21st birthday in 2014, QME will focus on providing a platform to source the latest innovative and technological solutions designed to result in ‘Better Mining’ - solutions that improve efficiency, increase productivity and optimise mine site operations.

“QME is really a snapshot of where the Queensland mining industry is positioned and where it is heading. QME 2014 is focused on providing solutions that result in better productivity, better efficiency and better optimisation,” event organiser Paul Baker said.

“We already have Hastings Deering (CAT), Hitachi, Siemens, Sandvik, GE Intelligent Platforms, Atlas Copco, ABB, Becker Mining Systems, Schneider Electric and many more leading suppliers ready and primed to showcase the latest innovative technology. This demonstrates that any sentiment relating to a ‘shift’ or ‘realignment’ within the industry has not challenged QME’s status as the premium platform for mining companies to source the latest innovations and technology.

“In fact, what is clear is that resource companies are looking for solutions that will better their operations. Therefore, the necessity and importance of QME has never been greater. The healthy response from the industry confirms that QME provides unrivalled opportunities for sourcing operational solutions and networking with industry peers, and this is again validated by over 550 suppliers already locked in for 2014.”
