Diego Clavería is Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) of EQUANS Chile and one of the most important executives of this world leader in multi-technical services. Clavería is also an expert in the mining market and had no doubts when he made the decision to position EQUANS as the main sponsor of Expomin, the main mining fair in Latin America, which will be held at Espacio Riesco from April 22 to 25, 2025. “Being the main sponsor of Expomin puts us in a privileged position to lead and be active participants in the long-term vision of mining. For us, this fact not only underlines our commitment to the mining sector, which is the main segment of our company, but also reflects our dedication to promoting green mining and sustainability practices, as well as electrification as fundamental pillars for the future of the industry”, says Claveria, who spoke to Expomin.cl about his vision for the future. What are your expectations regarding your role in the exhibition? We aspire to establish a high-level relationship, to make known the new trends in electrical infrastructure projects and in Operation and Maintenance (O&M) contracts. The brand presence at Expomin, which is the main international mining showcase, is an invaluable opportunity to highlight our leadership in the sector. From a mining industry perspective, what are the main challenges you face as a company? Our main objective is to generate business for Equans by adding value to the productivity of mining processes through a sustainable perspective that benefits both the industry and the surrounding communities. This approach not only seeks to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact, but also to strengthen the relationship between mining and community well-being. Why should other companies join Expomin? What do you find at the fair and congress? It is a meeting point where there is a unique concentration of suppliers of mining solutions, where innovation plays a fundamental role in the exhibition, and on the other hand, the presence of high-level executives and the unparalleled networking opportunity that is offered. This event is an essential platform for all those looking to drive innovation and establish valuable connections within the mining industry. What aspect are you interested in highlighting today? There are several. In fact, our commitment to sustainable mining, gender equity and operational efficiency is reflected in our actions and solutions, for example the certification of the NCh 3262 standard, the Trolley system for trucks and Asset Management (APM). Electrification through Trolley technology is a clear example of how we seek to revolutionize mining, minimizing environmental impact and reducing operating costs. This innovation not only demonstrates our dedication to cleaner practices, but also positions us as leaders on the road to green mining. In terms of asset management, our ISO 55001 certification underscores our excellence in ensuring that each asset delivers maximum value, thereby optimizing the efficiency and profitability of industrial processes. This strategic approach to efficient asset management is fundamental to overcoming contemporary mining challenges, striking a balance between innovation and environmental and social responsibility.
