About
Machines Roger International was founded in 1984 by Mr. Roger Massé. Originally miner by profession, Mr. Massé dedicated himself to developing new ways to improve safety conditions in the mining industry. In order to increase the safety in stope development, he created the V-30 Boring Head, a technology that was quickly adopted by the industry. In fact, this technology has improved the way slot raises were drilled by introducing a safer and more efficient method.
In 2000, Mr. Alain Béland became the owner of the company and continued working on the progress initiated by his predecessor. Since then, the company has never ceased to innovate in order to properly cater to the needs of the industry. Initially operating as a manufacturing company, Machines Roger International added the drilling Contracting division, which offers a bundled range of drilling services to its extensive client base. In 2017, Mr. Béland decided to hand over the company to his son Alexandre. He is committed to the development of Machines Roger International and wishes to pursue the growth of the company. In 2020, the company celebrated its 35 years of service in the mining industry.
