Sandvik invests US$50 million in new Nevada facility

Construction will begin in 4Q23 and the new facility is expected to open in 1Q25. It will cover 14 acres and replace the company’s existing Elko office and separate warehouse.

The 51.4-MUSD investment includes larger warehouse and workshop facilities. The new 31 250 ft² warehouse will nearly triple the size of the existing Elko warehouse, while the workshop will grow from 17 800 ft² to 25 000 ft². The two-story facility will also include 13 800 ft² of office and training space.

Designed with circularity, waste reduction, and carbon footprint top of mind, the completely new facility will include dedicated infrastructure to support BEVs, a training centre, welding areas, a painting booth, and a simulator area. The facility will accommodate the current 85 employees with additional capacity for training and growth.

“This facility will be our largest of several branches serving the US mining market,” said Victor Tapia, Vice President, Sales Area USA, Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions. “We are creating a new, modern work environment for our people, and in turn, for our customers, who operate in rapidly changing market conditions with fast-evolving technology. The new building will facilitate increased collaboration opportunities and enable us to better serve our customers for years to come.”
