Continuing Growth Across Africa
AFEX’s exhibit at Mining Indaba marks another milestone in the company’s growing presence across Africa. Following its official expansion into the African market in 2023, AFEX has gained significant traction and market share throughout the continent.
Through strategic partnerships with local distributors and direct engagement with major minería operations and equipment dealers, AFEX fire suppression systems are now protecting equipment in more than a dozen African nations, including South Africa, Ghana, Mali, Morocco, and Mozambique. The company’s success in Africa has also fueled new opportunities in neighboring regions such as Europe and the Middle East, where AFEX continues to strengthen OEM relationships and expand its network of trained distributors.
“Since establishing a dedicated presence on the continent, we’ve seen tremendous momentum,” said Jeannette Miller, President of Sales & Marketing at AFEX. “Mining companies across Africa – and increasingly in Europe and the Middle East – are realizing the value of working with a manufacturer that prioritizes reliability, availability, and certified performance, all backed by a responsive support network.”

AFEX systems are specifically engineered for off-road mobile equipment operating in demanding environments such as open-pit and underground mines. With over 50 years of experience and globally recognized approvals including Factory Mutual (FM HDME) and ActivFire (AS 5062), AFEX provides rugged and reliable systems that minimize downtime and protect both people and assets.
AFEX’s participation at Mining Indaba provides an opportunity to connect with mining leaders from across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East—regions united by a growing focus on safety, equipment longevity, and operational uptime.
