Eriez has announced the promotion of Jose Concha to Global Director of Mining Products, a strategic move, the company says, that reinforces its commitment to advancing minerals processing through continuous innovation.

In his new role, Concha will lead global product strategy for Eriez within the company’s flotation and magnetic separation technologies in mining. He will head a team of product managers responsible for providing global sales support, managing product lifecycles, and collaborating on new products with Research and Development personnel.

Concha brings more than two decades of minerals processing expertise to his new role at Eriez. Throughout his career with the company, he has held multiple positions, most recently serving as HydroFloat technology product manager, where he helped accelerate the global copper industry’s adoption of coarse particle flotation. 

Concha began his career in technical roles within mining companies and mining equipment suppliers. He earned a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from San Agustin University in Arequipa, Peru, and a master’s degree in metallurgical engineering from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro. He has also completed executive programs at Florida International University and Imperial College London.

 Jose has been instrumental in some of the most transformative projects in our company’s history. He brings a rare combination of technical insight and field experience that has made him a trusted voice in the mining community and a fundamental part of Eriez’ future,” Eriez EVP, Global Technology Mike Mankosa said in a news release.
