Modular Mining Systems, a leader in real-time computer-based mine management solutions for surface and underground mining operations, recently held a ribbon cutting ceremony for its new Integrated R+D and Support Center. To keep pace with continued growth in global mining automation, Modular expanded into the newly-renovated space adjacent to its corporate headquarters. The aim, it says, is to “bring together technology, development & customer support to better serve customers.”

Modular Mining acquired and redesigned the facility with the goal of creating a workspace that would foster collaboration and idea sharing amongst all staff involved in the development, implementation and support of its solutions to Modular’s global customer base. “This expansion is about the long-term and an investment in maintaining Modular’s global leadership position in our market space,” said Modular’s CEO, Luiz Steinberg. When asked about his vision for the new facility, Steinberg said: “Our highest priority is to provide the best service possible for our customers. An integrated work environment promotes communication and integration among team members, which are key factors in our ability to provide unparalleled quality products and customer satisfaction.”

Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild provided a few brief remarks during the ceremony. “Modular Mining Systems is one of Tucson’s many success stories,” said Rothschild. “Founded 35 years ago, this year, Modular is a keystone technology company and exemplifies what staying power really is.”
