Minetech transforms nation's infrastructure one rock at a time

Minetech Resources supports Malaysia's economic growth by steadily supplying aggregates to road and railway network developments. By providing quality construction materials to infrastructure projects, Minetech makes the country more attractive for international trade and investments.

Under the leadership of executive vice-chairman and founder Michael Chin, Minetech evolved from a drilling and blasting services company to an integrated provider of quarrying services and facilities. Listed on the Second Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities, Minetech has 13 subsidiaries.

Minetech operates nine quarries in Malaysia. With an 8.16-million-tonne capacity, the company is among the largest aggregates players in the country and boasts a 10 per cent market share in the production of construction materials.

Turnkey quarry operation services - quarry face development, drilling and blasting, loading and hauling, rock crushing and loading of finished aggregates - are only some of Minetech's strengths. Minetech also offers specialised civil engineering services and machinery rental. The company's cost-effective offerings boost client productivity.

Blasting is a critical aspect of quarrying operations. Minetech is the main contractor for rock blasting at one of Malaysia's most successful gold mines, Selinsing.

Minetech is also renowned for controlled blasting, which can detonate 140,000 tonnes in one go. The company has worked on projects for the MRT in Malaysia, which runs through urban areas. Through controlled blasting, Minetech ensures surrounding structures remain unaffected.
