POWERING THE PATH TO NET ZERO

BLUE DIAMOND MACHINERY IS HELPING TO RESHAPE THE MINING INDUSTRY'S ENERGY LANDSCAPE WITH INNOVATIVE, DATA-DRIVEN POWER SOLUTIONS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE SECTOR'S PUSH TOWARDS NET ZERO.

Since its inception in Perth, Blue Diamond Machinery has grown from a small local business into a national player in power generation, now making significant strides in helping the mining industry meet its sustainability targets.

"Blue Diamond was started in 2012 by myself, my brother Brad, and our school friend Chris," marketing director Justin Pitts told Australian Mining. "We began by importing high-quality OEM (original equipment manufacturer) power generators and other equipment to address what we saw as a gap in the market."

Strategic expansions into Melbourne and Brisbane enabled Blue Diamond to shift from a Western Australian operation to a national distributor.

Pivotal moments in the company's growth came through strategic partnerships and key acquisitions, including securing the Australian agency for Japanese generator manufacturer Denyo.

This partnership helped reposition Blue Diamond from a broad-based equipment supplier to a serious player in the construction and mining power markets.

"The Denyo partnership gave us a strong, internationally recognised brand to leverage," Pitts said. "Until then, most of our sales had come from our own developing OEM product line, but Denyo's reputation elevated us from the general market to the professional tier – opening doors to larger buyers."

Data-driven decarbonisation

While Blue Diamond continues to supply diesel systems, its long-term focus is firmly set on net zero.
