en.Wedoany.com Reported - Germany's Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (VDMA, German Mining Equipment Manufacturers Association) stated at the 2026 San Juan International Mining Expo that mining activities in San Juan are continuously growing, driven by the advancement of copper-related projects and an influx of new investments. Association representative Christoph Dammer noted that the VDMA brings together German manufacturers of mining equipment and technology, whose solutions cover exploration, underground and open-pit mining, mineral processing, and copper production.
Dammer emphasized that German technology solutions focus on improving operational efficiency and reducing environmental impact throughout the entire mining cycle. The VDMA stated that its member companies provide specialized equipment and systems for all stages, from early exploration drilling to mineral processing. He mentioned that Germany, leveraging decades of industrial experience, continues to export mining technology, and these solutions are already operating in multiple projects in the Andean region, particularly in Chile and Peru.
Dammer indicated that San Juan has now become one of the primary focus areas for international mining suppliers due to the progress of large metal mining projects. He also pointed out that Argentine mining is experiencing a development momentum different from previous years, with several projects accelerating. Against this backdrop, the VDMA is maintaining communication regarding future business opportunities with mining projects underway in San Juan Province, including copper projects.
During the expo, the association showcased the technological products of German manufacturers in the fields of mining, infrastructure, and mineral processing. The VDMA believes that this expo provides a window to observe the growth of mining activities in Argentina and the increasing interest of international suppliers and companies in San Juan's projects.
