DYWIDAG-Systems International (DSI), a systems supplier with a focus on mining, has acquired the business of Agrhimerc, a producer of rock reinforcement products. Agrhimerc, according to DSI, is well-recognised among its clients for its high quality service to the Peruvian mining industries. The mid-sized company produces different types of rock bolts that can be flexibly adjusted to varying ground conditions.

All employees of Agrhimerc have transferred to DSI Peru, which was established specifically to acquire the business. It is headquartered in Lima, Peru. The company will contribute to DSI’s global product range and will be able to extend its service and customer support. DSI Peru’s staff will continue its dynamic growth of the past few years.  By introducing its newly developed forepoling systems to the underground operations, DSI Peru hopes to become a leading supplier in Peru.

Rafael Vizquerra Bellido, one of the former owners of Agrhimerc, will assume the position of General Manager of DSI Peru. His market knowledge and experience, according to the company, makes him a valuable asset. This acquisition represents a further strategic step and provides DSI mining with a strong manufacturing and distribution base in Peru from which to service the expanding mining markets in Bolivia, Columbia and Ecuador.
