Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 16, 2024) - MineHub Technologies Inc. (TSXV: MHUB) (OTCQB: MHUBF) ("MineHub" or the "Company"), a leading provider of digital supply chain solutions for the commodity markets, is pleased to announce the expansion of its commercial agreement with Sumitomo Corporation ("Sumitomo"), to include all of Sumitomo's non-ferrous metals business. This milestone solidifies the successful relationship between the companies and unlocks new opportunities for growth beyond copper markets, where MineHub has been focused to date. Expansion into additional metals markets is expected to be a key driver in potential future revenue growth for the Company.
Sumitomo expects to further integrate its refined copper business onto the MineHub platform as a first priority. Other non-ferrous metals will be fast following markets, with a strong focus on Sumitomo's Asian customers. This strategic move underscores the commitment of both companies to leverage digital solutions for optimizing operations, enhancing efficiency, and delivering superior customer experiences.
Andrea Aranguren, CEO of MineHub, stated, "We are grateful for Sumitomo's commitment as a customer of the MineHub platform, a sales partner and as an innovation leader. Given their leading position in the market, one of the most effective ways for Sumitomo to accelerate digitization in metals markets is by driving boarder market engagement as a customer and user of our platform. We are excited to expand the scope of our engagement with Sumitomo and look forward to delivering value to a larger group of stakeholders within Sumitomo and more broadly in the market."
Over the past six months, Sumitomo has played a pivotal role in supporting sales efforts by connecting MineHub's commercial team to new sales opportunities. With Sumitomo's support, these introductions have led to qualified leads which are progressing steadily through MineHub's sales pipeline. More specifically, Sumitomo has helped MineHub to open and foster new opportunities in European and Asian metals markets.
Since partnering in February 2022, MineHub and Sumitomo have collaborated on a shared mission to bring efficiency, transparency and responsibility to commodity markets supply chains. A milestone in this journey came with the companies' partnership announcement in August 2022, followed by Sumitomo entering into a commercial agreement and subscribing as a paying customer to MineHub's platform and enterprise applications. This journey continued with the expansion of the partnership to include Sumitomo's refined copper business, announced in March 2024.
