Quaker Houghton: Making mining smarter

Renowned worldwide for its industrial solutions, Quaker Houghton offers sustainable and efficient products designed specifically for the mining industry.

Could you share some of the current trends in the mining sector, particularly with a focus on sustainability?

Tridib Majumder: The mining industry is increasingly aligning itself with global trends, and sustainability has become a core priority. Companies are actively working to conserve natural resources, reduce dust emissions, and minimize environmental impacts. Another notable trend is the growing adoption of advanced technologies, which is transforming operations and improving efficiency. Social responsibility is also gaining traction, with mining companies playing an active role in uplifting local communities. Additionally, the sector is experiencing a shift in workforce demographics, as more young professionals join the industry, bringing innovative ideas and fresh perspectives.

Quaker Houghton is a globally recognized company. Could you tell us about some of your products designed with sustainability in mind?

Tridib Majumder: One of our standout solutions is DUSTGRIP, which addresses the critical issue of dust suppression in mining operations. It's highly effective and significantly reduces water consumption, an important step towards sustainable mining practices. We are actively engaging with major customers in India to introduce this innovative product.
