July 30, 2025

RICHMOND, BC, CANADA (JULY 30, 2025) — Wenco International Mining Systems (Wenco) and Motium are proud to celebrate 15 years of strategic partnership—delivering rugged fleet hardware and integrated mining fleet management solutions to mine sites worldwide. The enduring Wenco–Motium partnership reflects a shared commitment to reliability, innovation, and customer success in the global mining industry.

Since 2010, Wenco and Motium have collaborated to equip mines with high-performance, field-proven solutions that combine Wenco’s advanced fleet management systems with Motium’s ruggedized in-vehicle computing platforms. Designed for the harshest mining environments, these integrated systems provide operators and managers with real-time operational data to drive productivity, safety, and efficiency.

“Trust is earned through consistent delivery—and our partnership with Motium is a testament to that,” said Yoshi Furuno, President and CEO of Wenco. “Mining operators count on reliable, integrated systems that work under the toughest conditions. Our collaboration with Motium has delivered exactly that—time-tested fleet solutions that scale across the globe.”

Motium’s rugged fleet hardware is engineered for industrial performance, shock and vibration tolerance, and sustained operation in extreme temperatures. Integrated with Wenco’s fleet management system (FMS) and onboard applications, these devices enable mining personnel to monitor fleet movements, receive dispatch instructions, and make informed decisions at the bench and in the cab.

“The Wenco–Motium partnership is built on shared values–quality, durability, trust and an aligned purpose centered on customer focus,” said Andrew Warenczak, Founder & Co-CEO of Motium. “Over the past 15 years, we’ve accomplished a great deal together–having learnt from each other and remaining united through a shared commitment to growth. As digital transformation and autonomy reshape the future of mining, we’re excited about what lies ahead and remain driven to be the industry’s best rugged technology partner.”

Wenco and Motium solutions are currently deployed at surface mines across North America, South America, Africa, and Australasia. As both companies look ahead, they remain committed to delivering reliable, open, and interoperable technologies that help mining companies unlock value from their operations.
