Minova RSA is South Africa’s leading manufacturer of cements and resins for strata support and ventilation control in mines. Its origins in SA go back to 1975, under the name “Fosroc”. Minova RSA is a member of the Minova International Group which manufactures and supplies advanced rock-engineering materials in most of the world’s major mining countries. The group is the world leader in the manufacture of resin capsules (the main form of rock support in coal mines) and Minova RSA holds the same position in all mining sectors in SA.

CORPORATE STRUCTURE AND HISTORY
Minova was previously known as Fosroc Stratabolt (Pty) Limited. Minova International was acquired by Orica, the world’s largest manufacturer of commercial explosives based in Melbourne Australia on 27 December 2006.

Fosroc Stratabolt was formed from the merger of Fosroc (Pty) Ltd, a manufacturer of quality cementitious products, and Stratabolt Products (Pty) Ltd a manufacturer of quality resin products.

The company operates an integrated research, development and manufacturing facility in the hub of the diverse and technically demanding Southern African Mining Industry. Minova RSA’s products are used in every sector of that industry and are exported world-wide.

Through our own research and access to the research of other Minova International companies we aim to ensure that our customers maintain leadership in improving the safety and productivity of underground excavation. The spectrum of products supplied enables mining engineers to choose unique solutions to unique rock engineering problems. We invite the active participation of our customers in product conception and improvement.

We manufacture resin grouting capsules, cement grouting capsules, high-yield and foamed grouts and other advanced technology cements. We also supply backfilling systems.
