COMPANY SHOWCASE

Experience and depth of resources are what gives B&E Interna- tional the competitive edge in the local market. The company has positioned itself as a ‘partner of choice’ for the mining and con- struction industries, due to its integrated crushing and screening and mineral processing solutions. B&E International – a partner of choice

A ccording to B&E managing direc- tor Dewald Janse van Rensburg, the company is currently busy with a range of diverse contracts, from supplying aggregates for roadworks and infrastructure development to mining projects. “This showcases our diversity and flexibility in being able to meet a range of customer requirements.” B&E International was established in 1972 in the Eastern Cape. It soon formed its own mobile and static crushing division, followed by further diversification into mining services and bulk min- ing and minerals processing and beneficiation. B&E International was acquired by the Raubex Group in 2009, completing its transformation as a total solutions provider in the mining and construction industries. “There was a time in the infrastructure sector when a lot of contractors opted for in-house crush- ing, but this has changed significantly over the years. There are very few contractors that choose this option, as it is now correctly perceived as a specialist skill set.

This extensive range of equipment gives the company the flexibility to be able to respond to its customers’ specific requirements by offering customised solutions. “A lot of competitors think it is relatively straightforward to offer such a complete pack- age, but in the long run they realised they could not make it work. They do not have the necessary experience to give customers a single solution for all their needs. Thus the trend is definitely towards outsourcing on the contracting side, especially in terms of infrastructure development,” Janse van Rensburg says. “We are uniquely placed to be able to offer such a comprehensive service, not to
