Founded in 1919, Osborn enjoys a reputation for service, excellence and innovative local-environment suited machine design. The company offers process equipment to the mining and aggregate industry, including new machines, factory warranted rebuilds, original equipment replacement parts, conveyor idlers and project management. While continuing to expand the product offering of its in-house designs, Osborn enjoys long associations with over- seas principles, enabling the production of complementary machines to be built under license, enhancing the "total offering" solution to customers. Coupled to an offering of locally built jaw, cone, double roll and rolling ring crushers, rotary breakers, vibrating screens and feeders, apron feeders and track or rubber mounted mobile equipment, Osborn can offer a turnkey solution to customer needs. 2008 saw Osborn continue to expand its factory space while incorporating lean manufacturing practices. To supplement existing capacity, new machinery with expected productivity benefits has been purchased and is currently being commissioned. Product development saw the updated OT 3042 Mk2 track mounted jaw crusher launched in the first quarter of 2008 to replace the original design launched in 2004. This unit addresses customer feedback of the earlier units and is well suited to the quarry industry and surface mining requirements. In addition, two totally new OT 3042 UG track mounted units were delivered in December to be utilized in an underground crushing situation. These units are suited to the restricted space available to maneuver underground, as well as a new experimental mining technique and product flow. Osborn also produced its first track mounted OT 44 ST cone crusher which has been well received in the quarrying industry and supplements the OT 38 ST unit first launched in 2006. Osborn remains proud of its continued accreditation as an integrated ISO 9001 – 2000, 14001 and 18000 manufacturer and supplier.
