Decades of Dedication
Celebrating over 30 years of Service
Established over three decades ago, Ground Force emerged as a modest, locally-owned enterprise specializing in the manufacture of explosive equipment for the mining industry worldwide.

Today, Ground Force stands as a premier entity, boasting an expansive portfolio of mining support solutions that encompass fuel and lubrication systems, dust suppression, fire safety, road maintenance, electric cable management, service vehicles, and custom dump bodies.
