en.Wedoany.com Reported - As part of its inclusive employment strategy, Bradken's new mill liner foundry in Chilca, Peru, will create approximately 200 direct jobs and over 1,200 indirect employment opportunities locally, aiming to drive regional economic development and cultivate specialized technical talent. The company expects that women will account for more than 30% of the plant's workforce, while also promoting local training and education programs such as "Women in Manufacturing Perú."

The plant, located in the Chilca Industrial Corridor, is scheduled to begin operations in 2026. Once operational, it will enhance Bradken's production capacity in the region, enabling faster and more efficient responses to the growing demand for solutions in Peru, Chile, and other mining markets.

The facility is designed with an annual production capacity of up to 20,000 tons of steel mill liners and will be built to high technical, operational, and environmental standards. It will be equipped with some of the largest machinery in South America, while adopting advanced technologies focused on energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact.

Bradken views the progress in decarbonizing Peru's electricity matrix as a strategic factor in selecting Chilca as the new operational site, as part of the company's sustainability strategy. The company expects that, with the expansion of available energy supply, up to 99% of its electricity consumption will come from renewable sources. Currently, the region's energy mix combines renewable energy, transitional natural gas, and battery energy storage systems (BESS).

The plant's operations will adhere to circular economy principles, promoting recycling, material optimization, and reduction of industrial waste.
