Your equipment works anywhere.
Your export pipeline
should too.
Australian METS companies build equipment that works in the world's harshest conditions. Getting it into those markets is where the pipeline breaks down.
$1,000 audit fee is fully refunded when you start a retainer.
Australian METS companies supply some of the most productive mine sites on earth. The problem is most of that capability stays here. Mine operators from Chile to Indonesia to West Africa are actively buying the equipment and technology your business makes. They're going to find someone. The question is whether it's you.
"Our product is proven domestically but unknown internationally."
International credibility is built through the right channels — tier-1 case studies, technical content, and presence at the events where METS buyers actually are: IMARC, Africa Down Under, IndoPac. We build this as part of the engagement.
"Mining procurement timelines are long — how do we justify the investment?"
We align our work to capex cycles. Our market intelligence flags upcoming procurement windows — so we're building your position 12–18 months before the buying decision, not chasing tenders that are already closed.
"We don't have the relationships in target markets."
That's what we provide. Through direct relationships with mining operators across Indonesia, Chile, and West Africa, we make introductions that would take years to develop independently.
How METS export works differently from other industrial sectors.
Project-driven procurement windows
Mining capex is lumpy. New mine commissioning, expansion phases, and equipment replacement cycles define when procurement windows open — and close. Success requires knowing where those windows are 12–18 months out, not after the tender is released.
OEM vs. aftermarket positioning
Whether you sell direct to mine operators, through OEM equipment packages, or into aftermarket maintenance supply chains is a strategic choice — with completely different BD motions. We help you pick the right model for your technology and stage, not default to whatever's easiest.
Jurisdiction-specific procurement norms
Indonesian government-linked operations, Chilean family-controlled mining groups, and West African JV mines all buy differently. Knowing which channels matter — and who the actual decision-makers are — requires direct market knowledge, not a market report.
Australian METS companies are reactive exporters. You already know it.
Australia's METS sector builds monitoring systems, autonomous equipment, processing plant tech, and specialist services that tier-1 mining operations around the world are actively sourcing.
But most METS companies export the same way: a warm intro from someone at a conference, a tender that came in from a contact overseas, a CEO trip that turned into something. There's no repeatable pipeline and no dedicated export resource behind the effort.
Meanwhile, the procurement cycles at major mining houses are happening whether you're in the room or not. The question is whether your competitors get there first.
Some METS companies are also advanced manufacturers — making physical equipment or systems rather than providing a service. If that's your business, see how we help advanced manufacturers →
Three services. One embedded team. Fully done for you.
Everything we do is built around the specific realities of selling complex mining technology internationally — long sales cycles, procurement gatekeepers, and technical buyers who need to trust you before they'll take a meeting.
We leverage our industry network and relationships with major METS operators across Indonesia, Chile, and West Africa to open doors that cold outreach never could.
Month by month. No surprises.
The EMDG program makes this significantly cheaper than you think.
METS companies are among the best candidates for the Export Market Development Grant. The EMDG reimburses eligible export promotion expenses — including advisory fees, automation infrastructure, and marketing retainer costs. We manage the application for you as part of the engagement.
for eligible clients
Our team has spent over a decade inside the METS ecosystem attending MiningID, Africa Down Under, IMARC, GRX and more. We've built relationships across the markets Australian METS companies target. We understand how buying decisions get made in resources-sector export.
Two ways in.
Both low-risk.
Whether you want a structured diagnostic first or just want to talk to us directly — both paths lead to the same outcome: a clear picture of what your export growth should look like.
