Innovative. Purpose-engineered.

Underground hard rock mining personnel carriers and utility vehicles.

ABOUT US

Kovatera engineers and manufactures the safest underground mining utility vehicles in its class. They are purpose-built from the ground-up and offer three times the economic life when compared to automotive-style trucks, with twice the payload capacity. 

With regular maintenance, Kovatera’s total cost of ownership is 50% of automotive-style offerings. And we back our engineering and manufacturing process with a 5-year or 5000-hour chassis guarantee.

I've been amazed by all facets of Supply chain and  glad that i've been able to evolve through various modules in freight /logistics and manufacturing during my 20+ years of  end-to-end supply chain experience. Most importantly during my very challenging and fast paced manufacturing experience with Tigercat industries , i've been exposed to lean manufacturing principles, Supply management, Vendor relationship management,  Strategic sourcing etc. I'm a graduate in physics with purchasing diploma and am a certified supply chain professional from APICS. I'm enthralled at this glorious opportunity to work with Kovatera as the Global Supply Chain Manager and am optimistic that i'm able to contribute in a positive manner.
