In March 2022, coal miner Vitrinite signed a contract for Gainwell to supply it with a highwall miner to support the Vulcan Mine in Queensland’s Bowen Basin. Vitrinite is the first buyer of Gainwell’s GHWM300M outside India. In February 2022, Gainwell built on its established Highwall Miner business when it signed a technology licensing agreement for underground mining equipment with Caterpillar, enabling Gainwell Engineering to manufacture medium & high seam underground room & pillar equipment to support the growing coal production in India and other countries around the world.
