Jachris, one of the continent’s leading integrated on-site industrial solutions providers, will use its presence at Mining Indaba 2026 to demonstrate how African-rooted operational capability has the power to reshape uptime, safety and reliability across Africa’s mining and industrial sectors.
An event that shapes the continent’s mining future, Mining Indaba is Africa’s most influential mining investment forum, attracting more than 10 500 delegates including senior executives, government leaders and global investors.
For Jachris, participation in mining’s biggest week, at a time when mining operations face mounting pressure to balance performance, safety and sustainable growth, signals its clear position that progress in African mining is built by partners who have a clear understanding of local operating realities, are embedded at site level, and who are accountable for uptime where it matters most.
With more than five decades of experience, the company has built a solid reputation as a trusted partner who operates at the critical last mile of mining and heavy industry. By working directly on-site to reduce downtime and improve safety outcomes, the company consistently delivers fast, end-to-end solutions that go far beyond hoses and fittings.
“Mining Indaba brings together leaders who are rethinking how industry should operate in Africa,” says Warwick Bouwer, CEO of Jachris. “Our role in that conversation is clear: Sustainable performance does not come from imposing solutions from the outside; instead, it comes from delivering world-class technology that is adapted to real-world African conditions.”
From supplier to integrated partner
At Mining Indaba 2026, Jachris will focus on cementing its position as an integrated solutions partner rather than a traditional supplier. The full-spectrum offering to be showcased includes preventive maintenance, fire suppression systems, on-site workshops, digital tracking technologies and data-driven solutions designed to boost uptime and lower operating costs.
Through this integrated model, Jachris can respond quickly to operational challenges while still reinforcing compliance, safety and reliability. By operating directly alongside client teams, the company ensures issues are resolved long before they become disruptions.
“Africa’s mining industry does not need more fragmented service delivery,” Bouwer adds. “It needs partners who are willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with operators on-site, train local teams and take accountability for sustained long-term performance.”
An African presence, built from within
Jachris’ Mining Indaba presence is underpinned by its African-first growth strategy. The company continues to expand its network of on-site workshops and service hubs across the continent, with a clear ambition to scale in Africa, by Africa, for Africa.
Rather than moving into markets as an external player, Jachris invests in local capability, local employment and long-term relationships. This approach has enabled the business to thrive in challenging operating environments while building trust at both an operational and executive level.
A platform for connection and sharing
Mining Indaba 2026 will also mark the public showcase of Jachris’ refreshed brand and digital platforms, including the launch of a new website in early February. The upgraded online experience highlights the company’s expanded solutions, African footprint and thought leadership stance.
Throughout the event, the team will share insights, conversations and on-the-ground perspectives via live LinkedIn content, reinforcing their commitment to knowledge-sharing and industry collaboration.
“For us, having access to some of the most influential global key players in mining gives us the opportunity to clearly communicate who we are, how we operate and why our approach delivers real value in tough environments. We’re looking forward to these face-to-face interactions and playing our part in shaping Africa’s mining future,” concludes Bouwer.
