Transmin was founded in 1987 in Western Australia. In 2003, Transmin developed the first 'Low Profile Feeder' a hybrid form of belt feeders and apron feeders which have become the benchmark for hybrid feeders within the industry, having been successfully installed around the world. Recently, Transmin has been granted an Australian Patent for the Low Profile Feeder technology and other patents are pending for certain features of the technology which have been developed.
Transmin has created 4 brands of their own mining equipment. In 1995, they created their first rockbreaker boom system, now branded as Boomer. Transmin also developed their RockLogic rockbreaker brand, in 2004, and in 2016 developed ConveyorPro, its own brand of Conveyor belts and components.
The company has agents on four continents; Australia, Africa and North and South America, and sister company, Breakers and Attachments Equipment Group Pty Limited (BAEG).
Transmin's primary headquarters and Australian registered office is located at 33-37 Denninup Way, Malaga, Western Australia.
