The Vitåfors assignment includes loading and transport of rock masses, including boulder crushing and handling. The contract is estimated to have an annual volume of approximately 6 million tonnes, and to employ up to one hundred people. The contract represents renewed confidence in EuroMining, which has had the assignment of loading and transporting rock masses at Vitåfors since 2016.

“After a number of years of operation in Vitåfors, we are pleased to note that LKAB appreciates and wants to continue to develop our cooperation,” says Pernilla Storm at EuroMining.

EuroMining specialises in ore loading and transporting, with the bulk of its operations taking place in the Malmfälten mining district in Gällivare. The company's largest customer is LKAB, with extensive mining operations in northern Sweden. Veidekke acquired all shares in EuroMining in 2024.
