Over the past few years you may have noticed that Mining Media International has continued to grow while maintaining its focus as a specialty publisher in the mining and construction industries. At the beginning of 2010 we acquired The ASIA Miner which allowed us to open an office in Melbourne, Australia, and continue our expansion to serve the rapidly expanding Asian markets.
At the end of 2010 we also acquired Rock Products, Concrete Products and Cement Americas from Penton Business Media and in keeping with our company’s approach to quality publishing, immediately increased the number of editorial pages to better serve the readers; began printing on upgraded paper; and increased circulation. The response from advertisers and readers alike has been highly supportive.
In 2011 we launched Quarry Equipment Marketplace to service the aggregates industry and later acquired Mine & Quarry Trader, which has been merged into Quarry Equipment Marketplace. The circulation of the combined publications resulted in an increase of more than 30 percent compared to Mine & Quarry Trader, giving tremendous additional value to advertisers.
A related addition was the merging of SEMCO Productions, an Atlanta-based trade show company into the Mining Media International family. This now gives us a platform to professionally manage and produce our trade shows and conferences in the industries we serve.
Although we continue to be a print magazine publisher serving industries that have indicated via Reader Surveys, that they still prefer the print product, we acknowledge the changes in the marketplace and offer digital copies of all our magazines together with weekly News Services, Interactive Websites and other Electronic Services. Please feel free to contact your local sales representatives for additional details on any of our products.
We wish you a successful and profitable 2012.
