Sandvik has signed an agreement to acquire ThoroughTec Simulation, a South Africa-based provider of equipment simulators and training systems for the mining industry. The company will be reported within Sandvik's Parts and Services division. ThoroughTec develops OEM-agnostic training simulators and offers a training management system to help mining customers improve productivity, operator safety and reduce maintenance costs. The acquisition will combine ThoroughTec's simulators with Sandvik's digital solutions to enable customised, data-driven operator training programmes. Headquartered in Durban, ThoroughTec employs over 200 people and generated revenues of around SEK 170 million in 2025. The purchase price was not disclosed. The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals.
