SafetyXpress Stromberg® Celebrates a Legacy of Mining Safety Innovation at Electra Mining Africa 2026
As SafetyXpress Stromberg® celebrates its 50th anniversary, the company will mark this significant milestone by showcasing five decades of innovation in mining safety at Electra Mining Africa 2026, reaffirming its commitment to protecting people, improving operational efficiency and supporting safer mining environments across Southern Africa.

Each product has been developed to assist mines in improving hazard identification, vehicle management, pedestrian separation and operational safety while meeting the demanding requirements of open-cast mining operations.

Proudly South African. Built for Africa.
A defining feature of SafetyXpress Stromberg® has been its commitment to local manufacturing.

Looking Ahead
While celebrating its rich heritage, SafetyXpress Stromberg® remains firmly focused on the future.
As mining operations increasingly prioritise safety, efficiency and sustainability, the company continues to develop innovative products that assist customers in creating safer workplaces and reducing operational risk.
"Celebrating 50 years is not only about recognising our history, it is about reaffirming our commitment to the future of mine safety. Every product we design reflects our purpose of protecting people and supporting safer, more productive mining operations.
