WEG’s technologies at Electra Mining Africa 2026

August 2026 News


Mines thrive on reliability, scale and efficiency, and expect infrastructure investments that will support those goals effectively with modern features and technical superiority. The sector yielded record profits last year, a windfall to support long-term strategies around growing operational complexity and higher costs. Thus, mining houses are keen to see what the latest infrastructure products, services and technologies can provide across their portfolios.

WEG, global manufacturer of industrial electrical technologies, is uniquely positioned to deliver advantages to mining operators, service providers and OEMs.

These include WEG’s market-leading electric motors, locally manufactured voltage control systems, advanced solar and battery storage, rugged charging stations, customised generators, industrial steam turbines and cutting-edge e-house substations. Attendees visiting WEG’s stand will also interact with our experts and executives.

“Mining companies are investing in their long-term resilience and growth. They are looking for the best choices, which is what WEG will showcase at Electra Mining Africa this year. Our vision is powering Africa today for tomorrow. Visit our stand and see how we turn that into action for our customers,” says Eduardo Werninghaus, chief executive officer of WEG Africa.

Visitors to WEG Africa’s stand will interact with a range of physical systems, digital showcases and product demonstrations, including:

• IE3, IE4, IE5 and IE6 efficiency motors for heavy and severe duty applications.

• WEG’s revolutionary compact W80 AXgen electric motors.

• Locally manufactured industrial soft-starters, switchgear and motor control centres.

• The WEMOB Wall charging stations with smart features and outdoor resilience.

• Three-phase solar inverters and industrial battery energy storage systems.

• Interactive 3D models of WEG’s next-generation e-house modular substations.

• Compact, self-contained mini substations for low, medium, and high-voltage applications.

• Small-frame, higher power-density alternators.

• Hybrid, modular and customised generators.

• Scale-size industrial turbines, turbine repair and servicing.

• Industrial variable speed drives with advanced smart and automation features.

• Customisable and plug-and-play frequency and AC/DC inverters.

WEG Africa’s experts will be on hand to demonstrate this wide selection of industrial electric solutions, sharing their knowledge and best practices garnered from industry interactions and WEG’s global presence.

Experience the electrical technologies that are shaping mining efficiency and improvement, securing the sector’s long-term prosperity. Attend Electra Mining Africa 2026 and visit WEG Africa’s stand to see how we are powering Africa’s mining sector today for tomorrow.
