Posted on 17 Mar 2022

Boart Longyear Group Ltd recently announced that its manufacturing plant in Wroclaw, Poland, had completed the facility’s largest order ever for 12 LF™160 drill rigs and FREEDOM Loaders to be delivered to Mitchell Services Ltd, an Australian customer. The achievement included the coordination of teams in Poland, Australia, Germany, and the US.

Pat Nill, Boart Longyear’s Vice President of Global Products, said: “We are very proud of what our Polish manufacturing team and local Australian teams have achieved, which required strong global coordination between the production, engineering, and R&D teams to meet our customer’s specifications. The multiple teams truly embodied our corporate value of teamwork.”

Focusing on the customer’s needs, Boart Longyear’s Adelaide-based sales team partnered with the Company’s R&D teams in the US, Germany, and Poland and Polish manufacturing team to offer a highly customised version of the LF™160. The LF™160 is a CE-certified surface coring drill rig. The FREEDOM™ Loader is a hands-free rod loader increasing safety for drilling crews. When paired with the FREEDOM™ Loader, it says the LF™160 combination is ideal for contractors who want to target sophisticated surface drilling exploration contracts that stipulate some of the highest safety standards, without compromising on productivity.
