A Timeline

OF OUR HISTORY

1962

IMS Engineering’s journey in the comminution industry began in 1962 as the exclusive Southern African licensee for HAZEMAG, offering impactors, hammer mills, and roll crushers, along with MinPro’s feeder breakers and horizontal jaw crushers.

1980

The late 1980s marked a period of expansion for IMS Engineering, culminating in a 1991 licensing agreement with Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI). With KHI's subsequent merger with Kobe Steel’s crushing division to form EarthTechnica Company Limited (ETCL), IMS Engineering broadened its product offerings to include ETCL/Kawasaki’s full range of gyratory, cone, and jaw crushers, as well as specialized ball and rod mills.

2004

Recognizing the potential of High-Pressure Grinding Roll (HPGR) technology, IMS Engineering partnered with Germany’s Köppern in 2004, adding HPGR, briquetting, and compaction equipment to its portfolio. This collaboration positioned IMS Engineering at the forefront of innovative comminution solutions.

2009

As the installed base of equipment in the Northern Cape Region expanded rapidly, IMS established its own branch in 2009 to provide dedicated service and support to the area.

2010

In 2010, IMS Engineering diversified further by incorporating advanced separation and sorting technologies. Today, our offerings span traditional magnetic separation and sensor-based sorting solutions, including eddy current, optical, and X-ray technologies, for precise material and mineral separation.

2012

In 2012, IMS Engineering welcomed the allmineral range of products, introducing jigging machines, fluidized bed separators, air-pulsed jigs, and magnetic separators to support diverse processing needs.

2013

Recognizing the growing demand for reliable service and support in Botswana, IMS established a dedicated branch in the region to cater to the increasing installed base of equipment and strengthen customer relationships.

2016

Our capabilities and reach expanded with notable milestones, including the award of the HUSAB contract in 2016, establishing a branch in Namibia to support this major project.

2017

By 2017, IMS Engineering extended its manufacturing rights for ETCL/Kawasaki, gaining distribution rights for Europe and North America, further solidifying our global presence.

Today

Today, IMS Engineering continues to build on this legacy of innovation, expertise, and reliable partnerships, bringing world-class comminution and processing technologies to our clients across industries and continents.
