NOVAMINE: CHILEAN INNOVATION TRANSFORMING MINING MAINTENANCE ON A GLOBAL SCALE
October 28, 2025
From Chile to the world, Novamine has established itself as a leading company in technological solutions for the maintenance of heavy-duty equipment. In a recent article by Alta Ley, its General Manager, Alejandra Giménez, shares the company’s origins, milestones, and innovations that are now setting a new standard in international mining.

Born in 2012 from a project promoted by Hidromec, a family company with more than 40 years of experience serving the mining industry, Novamine emerged from the need to optimize critical processes in the maintenance of large-scale mining equipment.It all began when Patricio Giménez, General Manager of Hidromec, identified an opportunity for improvement in the dump body replacement process, a key operation in mining activities. From that observation, he developed a first prototype that became the starting point of an innovation that today has international impact.Under the leadership of Alejandra Giménez, Novamine has evolved into a company capable of designing, manufacturing, and internationalizing high-impact engineering solutions, supported by a multidisciplinary team of engineers and specialized technicians in electricity, mechanics, and hydraulics.Among its main developments stands out the KIMBO line, a hydraulic lifting system designed for dump body changes and shovel lifting. This technology has revolutionized the way interventions are carried out in mining operations, enabling faster, safer, and more efficient processes, significantly reducing replacement times and increasing equipment availability.Currently, Novamine has a presence in Chile, Mozambique, Mexico, the United States, Brazil, and Peru, and is working on expanding into Australia, South Africa, and Canada, key markets for global mining. Its commitment to innovation, safety, and sustainability is reflected in its triple ISO certification (ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001), as well as compliance verification under the demanding Australian standard."The challenge we face today is to consolidate our international presence and continue driving solutions that raise the standards of safety and efficiency in global mining," highlights Alejandra Giménez, General Manager of Novamine. "We want the mining industry of the future to recognize Novamine as a Chilean company that not only innovates but transforms critical processes, delivering real value to the industry and to people."🙌 From Novamine, we thank Alta Ley for the feature and for helping to showcase our story, achievements, and vision of a more technological, inclusive, and sustainable mining industry.🔗 Learn more about our story and vision at: 👉 https://n9.cl/2y0ttb
