SATEVA's superb performance
In less than three months of acquiring SATEVA, K2fly has notched up more than AUD 850K of new purchase orders from significant mining houses in the iron ore sector. This is significant if one compares SATEVA's total revenue of AUD 1.4M in the financial year 2020.
The advanced automated ore blocker solution is performing exceptionally well and surpassing customers' expectations. The solution has been tested at a significant iron ore producer in Western Australia. The outcome of these studies will be available to the mining clients from February onwards.
Though no deal is finalised yet, K2fly is in talks with two major mining firms.
K2fly's Chief Commercial Officer, Nic Pollock, also highlighted the perfect timing of the deal which is paving the way for great opportunities for K2fly to better service the international iron ore producers, especially in WA.
