Atlas Copco expands Botswana operations

Last Thursday, Atlas Copco unveiled its glittering Botswana headquarters, from which the group hopes to tap into the country's booming infrastructural development sector. Since taking over Rand Air 11 years ago, Altas Copco Botswana has diversified its product range and services, gaining ground in a competitive environment. Today, the group's clients include BCL Mine, Sinohydro and UNDP. The company is involved in projects such as the Dikgatlhong Dam construction and deepening of BCL Selebi North shaft.

Atlas Copco has said that in its expansion, it will ensure requisite service and maintenance support for the new product range. The company  has construction, mining and compressor technique divisions. Its Dynapac division deals in compaction machinery mostly used in road construction.
