When Mine Supply Company vice-president Marc Collette was introduced to PAUS in 2016, he saw the value they could provide to many of Mine Supply’s mining and industrial clients. PAUS machines are a great option for operations wanting to minimize maintenance costs and reduce environmental impact through investment in equipment with extended lifespan.
“Across the board, our clients are looking to reduce impact and minimize waste, which means rethinking procurement to integrate a view of the total life cycle of any asset purchased,” says Collette. “Companies that take a long-term, sustainable view of their operations will see measurable benefits with PAUS machines in their fleet that go beyond reduced downtime.”
PAUS – Quality, innovation & history
Since Mine Supply became a PAUS dealer, Collette has had the opportunity to train on the equipment at the PAUS factory in Emsbüren, Germany on multiple occasions, where he has seen the company’s hands-on development and manufacturing in action.
“Spending time at PAUS has shown me how their ‘the people who care’ slogan is more than just talk,” says Collette. “This is a company dedicated to producing the highest quality product, and to continual learning when it comes to innovation and change. They listen to the operators at each site and use this information to improve process and design. These client-focused values align with ours at Mine Supply.”
Designed to meet the challenges of underground operations
Founded by Hermann Paus in 1968, PAUS’ robust, purpose-built machines have earned a name for quality, innovative engineering at operations in Europe, Asia, South America, and Mexico, with annual production averaging around 500 units. While North America is a relatively new market for PAUS, it has invested in supporting a new and diverse client base by establishing PAUS North America in Cleveland, Ohio to better serve the region.
PAUS develops, designs, and manufactures a range of machines, including utility vehicles, personnel transporters, mine rescue vehicles, haul trucks, LHD loaders, scalers, graders, explosives chargers, and roadheaders.
