en.Wedoany.com Reported - During the 2026 Exponor exhibition, BHP has set up a dedicated area at its booth to facilitate direct meetings between supplier companies and representatives from the Escondida and Spence mining operations, enabling dialogue on operational needs, innovation, and collaboration opportunities.

The mining company plans to arrange for managers from different procurement categories to be available on-site throughout the exhibition (until Thursday, June 11) to answer questions and hold meetings with companies interested in showcasing their solutions.

Escondida | BHP Procurement Director Cristóbal Marshall, in an interview with Timeline during the BHP Mining Coffee event, stated that a dedicated space for integration has been set up at the central booth, allowing visitors to engage face-to-face with managers from Chile's two most important mining operations.

The on-site professionals include experts in various categories such as logistics and services, enabling suppliers to have conversations with teams familiar with the specific needs of each area. Cristóbal Marshall noted that ensuring a sufficient number of procurement managers are present is highly valuable for suppliers, as they can meet people who understand both their industry and the specific requirements, and who can provide detailed insights into their solutions.

As part of the experience, visitors can access a booking system via a QR code at the booth, which allows them to schedule meetings with procurement experts, improving interaction efficiency and increasing contact opportunities during the exhibition.

Marshall concluded that the mining value chain is very deep, bringing together a wide range of materials and services. He hopes suppliers can communicate with those who understand their needs, making the BHP booth a hub for exchange throughout the exhibition. The better both sides understand each other's capabilities and needs, the greater the opportunity to create value.
