AEL's International division comprises three business operations, servicing the Asia Pacific, European and South American markets. As the leading explosives solution provider in Southern Africa and the African continent, AEL Mining Services first expanded its footprint into global markets with the formation of PT AEL Indonesia as a wholly owned company to compete with major global explosives companies during 2006.Although AEL had serviced the Asia Pacific region for over 25 years with the supply of commercial explosives, as well as other select global markets through its channel partners. This was the first bespoke hub operation, with its head office situated in Jakarta to service North and South Asia, as well as the Australia Pacific and Asia Pacific regions . Today, AEL has a staff count of over 200 servicing this region.
Soon after its inception in Jakarta, AEL was awarded the tender against stiff opposition for several significant projects in the coal mining market, including one of the largest mining operations in the world. AEL Indonesia also has a number of contracts with the largest mining contractors in the country,
AEL has established several bulk emulsion manufacturing plants at key customer sites, which include plants at KPC; Melak with PT Thiess Contractors; Gunung Bayan Pratamacoal with PT Bukit Makmur (BUMA)a plant with Petrosea at Santan Batabara; and the most recent is a plant with Leighton’s at MSJ. AEL also has a Shock tube assembly plant with Dahana.
During 2008, AEL established a joint venture company with EPC Groupe to service the European market. Through EPC Groupe Companies, Minexplo provides Euronel non-electric detonators, as well as UBS (Undergound Bulk Systems) to leading quarries and mines throughout Europe. Minexplo has a shock tube assembly facility at EPC-UK’s facilities in Derbyshire, England, as well as an expanding range of UBS charging units at strategic points throughout Europe, supporting both mining and tunnelling applications.
At the end of 2009, AEL made a strategic decision to enter into the South American market, due to the demand and market opportunities in this region.
AEL South America, headquartered in Santiago, Chile, was established in 2010 as a regional channel business centre that distributes AEL’s range of explosives, initiating systems and services. AEL accomplished this through partnering with ENAEX and EXSA - two of the regions most respected channel operators in the mining sector.
AEL's expansion into select international markets through a combination of hub and channel operations is backed by a strong central Research and Development team, and training infrastructure that is deployed globally to maximise blasting efficiencies at customer sites.
