A South African company, competing globally
Fraser Alexander celebrated 100 years in the South African mining industry last year, and is looking to continue its journey
through service expansion in the mining and industrial value chains, while continuing its socio-economic contribution to communities.
The company’s ability to read mega-trends and anticipate their impact; diversify and reinvent itself continuously; and offer a full range of relevant services, which currently include mining, mineral processing, waste deposition management, water treatment and management, mine rehabilitation and related construction services, has led it to the market-leading position it
currently holds. Chief Executive Officer, Jaap Nel attributes the business’s impressive longevity to a number of factors.
“There’re a number of aspects we see as core to the longevity of Fraser Alexander and the first of these is deep specialisation in market-relevant disciplines,” he said. “There is a culture within Fraser of nurturing an entrepreneurial spirit and a very strong focus on innovation within the organisation.
“Within each division the focus on specialisation combined with effective collaboration between various divisions, and beyond with clients, partners, suppliers and communities enables us to deliver solutions to the more complex

problems our clients face. In the process we identify and scale relevant innovations into equally innovative solutions to address these challenges”.
Fraser Alexander is the only company on its market to operate across the full value chain in mining and related industries; a robust strategy that Nel and his leadership team are driving forward.
Tracking trendsThe company’s five divisions are key to building specialisation in relevant fields, sourcing innovation and, subsequently, delivering the quality solutions that Fraser Alexander is renowned for.
“It is critical, if you are to stay
relevant in your market, to monitor and respond to emerging trends in a proactive way,” said Nel. “The company is very good at tracking mega trends and market dynamics, analysing the impact of these on its clients’ businesses and developing solutions that reflect the challenges across the mining and industrial sectors.”
One such trend was the issue of the emerging impact of acid mine drainage (AMD) and seriously contaminated industrial effluent on the country’s water quality.
“We saw this crisis coming in the mid-2000s and have been working on that project since 2008,” Nel explained.
“We responded by expanding our

a large emphasis on the critical relationships it has formed over the years with its employees, partners, suppliers, clients and communities.
“Core to our success is to attract and retain amazing people with a very strong entrepreneurial spirit and with the freedom and willingness to actually act,” Nel said.
“Our clients value this and engage us for this ability to think out of the box and allow us to do so. They appreciate Fraser Alexander’s proven ability to identify problems, often anticipate these, and proactively find solutions. We tend to attract partners and suppliers with similar philosophies.”

Supplier Profile
Fraser Alexander operates across the full value chain in mining and related industries. There is no other competitor in our market that has that full scale of offerings..”— Mike Groch, External Communications Consultant, Fraser Alexander

Sub-Saharan Africa but, in terms of where our clients’ operations take us, we have opportunities beyond Africa, as we’ve proven on many instances. Geographical diversification is an important part of our Group’s strategy,” Nel explained.
Fraser prides itself on being a South African-based group with a global footprint, and it already has a strong international foothold as a trusted partner to global mining majors from which to build on.
The next 100 years The focus on specialisation, collaboration, sustainable initiatives, globalisation and developing relationships all pivot on one other key facet which the company must maintain in an ever-changing business climate: the ability and flexibility to constantly and quickly reinvent itself in the face of anticipated change.
Beyond work on the front line, Fraser Alexander also makes a concerted effort to carry its expertise and market standing to address critical social issues too.
Nel continued: “A dimension that we’re pushing for is to be a trusted partner, not just in the industries we serve, but also in the communities where we operate and from where we draw employees.
“From Fraser Alexander’s perspective there’s a strong emphasis to look beyond the life of the mine or industry we serve, and engage with communities, clients, partners and suppliers in these areas and, collectively, to figure out the best sustainable options that will ensure the long-term socio-economic sustainability of these communities. We have a similar focus on environmental impacts, seeking to find the most effective solutions to ensure the long-term sustainability of our natural heritage.”
International expansionHaving built a solid reputation and profitable business in sub-Saharan Africa, Fraser Alexander is also looking to replicate its success further afield as it moves into its second century.
“Our primary focus will remain in

Nel said: “The entrepreneurial spirit instilled in Fraser Alexander, combined with the ability to stay close to clients, and having a structured process of scanning the market place allows us to innovate very quickly, adapt and reinvent ourselves.
“It’s difficult to compete on price, so our strategy is to move towards partnerships with clients and outside specialists to deliver solutions rather than just offer outsource services.
“It requires integration and a high level of intellectual input to be able to do that, but it’s a Fraser Alexander competency recognised by a lot of companies.”
In the challenging South African conditions, Fraser Alexander has taken the necessary measures to give effect to these key dimensions of its strategy.
Nel concluded: “Looking forward, we’d like to continue to diversify in the mining and industrial value chains to become a single source of total solutions.
“We’re looking forward to the next 100 years of continuing to build a very robust, but flexible, business with the ability to reinvent continuously, with people remaining the key to our success. They are our true competitive advantage”
