Atlas Copco opens a customer center in Mali

Stockholm, Sweden, December 2, 2010: Today, Atlas Copco inaugurates a
fully owned customer center in Mali to support the growing mining
business in West Africa and to demonstrate the Group's commitment to
customers in the area.

The new customer center will primarily focus on sales of surface and
underground mining equipment, drilling consumables as well as related
parts and services. The customer center will initially employ 14 people.
It will serve both Mali and other French speaking countries in the
region such as Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Senegal and Ivory Coast.
“The new customer center will bring us closer to our customers in these
countries,” says Björn Rosengren, Business Area President Atlas Copco
Construction and Mining Technique and continues: “There are many
interesting projects in the area, particularly in mining, that offer
good business opportunities.”
In addition to the new customer center in Mali, a recently established
branch in Senegal is focusing on the construction activities for the
same region. Atlas Copco was earlier represented in West Africa through
a distributor network.
