Epiroc has agreed to purchase the key assets of Schramm Australia, a manufacturer of products for reverse circulation (RC) drilling.
Since February 2023, Schramm Australia, based in Perth, has been in voluntary administration, and Epiroc will now continue the business to the benefit of the customers. The assets include intellectual property as well as two production facilities near Perth and two service centers located in Queensland and South Australia. Schramm Australia’s employees will be offered employment at Epiroc.
The purchase of the Schramm Australia Group by Epiroc begins a new chapter for the brand and builds on the knowledge and skills developed throughout Schramm’s 123 years of operations.
“The Schramm products and brand are well known as a global leader in reverse circulation technology,” says Helena Hedblom, Epiroc president and CEO. “We look forward to welcoming the strong team at Schramm Australia to the Epiroc Group.”
The asset purchase was expected to be completed in the second quarter 2023.
