Epiroc is a Swedish manufacturer of mining and infrastructure equipment.
Epiroc is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden and has its manufacturing facilities in the United States and all across the world.
Epiroc has its roots in Atlas Copco, which was founded in 1873 in Stockholm, Sweden.
It was created as a result of Atlas Copco’s decision to split out its legacy business of mining equipment. Atlas Copco began to produce rock drills in 1905. The patent was secured for hydraulic breakers in 1963. The first serial manufactured hydraulic breaker was the Hydraulikhammer HM400 which was invented in Essen, Germany by Krupp (Today they are Epiroc) in 1967.
In January 2017, Atlas Copco’s board of directors decided to propose to the Annual General Meeting that the company be divided, and that the mining and infrastructure business be listed as its own separate company in 2018.
Epiroc was officially created in January of 2018 and has been a leader in the rock breaker industry ever since. Contact us to schedule your free inspection or reach out if you have any questions.
