Epiroc: A Practical Guide for Procurement Professionals

What You’ll Find Here

If you’re researching Epiroc—whether to verify their Sweden address, check on Epiroc Mining India Limited, or figure out how to compare quotes—this is a collection of answers to the real questions I get asked. I manage purchasing for a mid-sized company, and after a few years of vendor consolidation projects, I’ve got some practical experience to share.

What’s Epiroc’s official address in Sweden?

Epiroc AB is headquartered at:
Sickla Industriväg 19
131 54 Nacka
Sweden

I’ve checked this against their corporate filings (the Swedish Companies Registration Office) and it matches their official registration. If you’re sending legal or contract documents, that’s the one to use. For general correspondence, some suppliers I’ve worked with have used their local office addresses instead—and that’s fine too, as long as it’s in their contract.

One thing I’ve learned: always confirm the department. In Q3 2024, I had a package go to the main Nacka address but it sat in a mailroom for two weeks because I didn’t specify “Accounts Payable” on the label. That cost us a late payment fee. (Should mention: the vendor was understanding, but our finance team wasn’t thrilled.)

Is Epiroc Mining India Limited a separate entity?

Yes—Epiroc Mining India Limited is a registered subsidiary of Epiroc AB. It’s a distinct legal entity for operations in India. From my experience with vendors that have regional subsidiaries, this means:

• Invoices and purchase orders need the correct legal entity name
• Payment terms might differ from the parent company’s standard terms
• Service and support locally are managed through this entity

I’ve had a situation where I assumed “Epiroc” on the contract was enough, and our accounts payable team rejected the invoice because the vendor listed “Epiroc Mining India Limited” on it. It was a simple fix (amending the PO), but it delayed payment by two weeks. Don’t make that assumption—verify the exact legal name before placing an order.

How do I compare Epiroc with other suppliers?

I can’t speak to every comparison, but I’ve managed RFQs for drilling equipment. The most common mistake I see: focusing only on the upfront price. That $80 you save by going with a ‘budget’ supplier? I’ve seen that turn into a $400 reorder when the specs aren’t met.

Here’s what I do now:

1. Request a written spec sheet from every vendor
2. Compare not just price but delivery lead times and service response SLAs
3. Ask for references—specifically for similar-sized companies in your region
4. Verify invoicing and payment terms upfront (learned that one the hard way)

I should add: Epiroc’s automation solutions (like Automine) are often referenced in industry publications—Source: Mining Technology, December 2024. If automation is a priority for you, that’s worth exploring.

What’s the most frustrating part of vendor management?

The most frustrating part: the same issues recurring despite clear communication. You’d think written specs would prevent misunderstandings, but interpretation varies wildly. I’ve had a vendor deliver equipment that matched our specs but didn’t fit our site layout—because we assumed ‘standard dimensions’ meant the same thing to them.

After the third time that happened, I was ready to give up on that vendor entirely. What finally helped: building in a site verification step before placing the final order. It added a week to the timeline, but it eliminated the rework costs. Prevention over cure—that’s my motto now.

What should I do if I need to verify a vendor’s credentials?

Start with their official registration documents. For example, for Epiroc Mining India Limited, you can check the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (India) database. It’s public and free. For a Sweden address, the Bolagsverket registry is the official source.

I also ask for a recent invoice that shows their legal name, address, and VAT/GST number. Any legitimate vendor should be able to provide that. If they can’t or won’t, that’s a red flag. (Learned never to assume a vendor is registered after a supplier couldn’t provide a proper invoice—cost us $2,400 in rejected expenses.)
