HISTORY

Our personal history as miners dates back to 1986 and the drive and determination of a man, OSCAR HIRLEMANN. He saw the opportunity to capitalize on a region that was about to explode on to the global mining scene by mechanizing at high scale the extraction process of mining.
Now we have a real history of technological developments, making us exceptionally placed to deliver high amounts of tonnage of mostly all minerals but specially precious metals.
The company owner´s swiss-german, english-mexican family heritage forms the roots of our success, now operating in many mexican and centralamerican regions and an even stronger worldwide projection covering gold mines in the USA and several african and asian countries.
It is perhaps appropriate that we underwent one of our most important restructuring processes at the beginning of the new millennium. On may the 7th 2012 MAPRIMAC was created as a company that deals with mining commodities and related heavy machinery, diverse processes for the chemical industries, metal, hidrocarbons trading and distribution and the likes. This had hitherto been responsible for our international projection.
The objectives were clear from the very beginning: to simplify the exploiting of mines by highly mechanizing it that leverage our core skills. Our investment on a business level, however, has also been mirrored by our commitment on a social scale and has been in the vanguard of several initiatives that have changed the way high scale mining is viewed within the industry and by the population at large.
We have acquired a very defined sense of responsibility and purpose and recognize business has to be an integral part of addressing the big challenges facing society.
At MAPRIMAC, our Good Citizenship business principles guide our decisions and actions. Wherever we are in the world, we adhere to consistently high standards of business integrity and ethics. Balancing investment returns with community well-being.

As a good corporate citizen, we respect the dignity and human rights of individuals and communities everywhere we operate. We strive to make a lasting contribution to the well-being of these.
