New brand and strategic investment position IMT to help shape the future of mining across Africa
Mining has never been more complex. Across Southern Africa, mining companies are under increasing pressure to improve productivity, strengthen safety, adopt rapidly evolving technologies and meet increasing regulatory and sustainability requirements. While technology continues to advance, the real challenge lies in successfully integrating people, engineering, systems and data into practical solutions that deliver measurable operational outcomes.
It is against this backdrop that Probe IMT today officially becomes IMT – Integrated Mining Technologies, unveiling a new corporate identity together with a strengthened ownership structure that marks the next chapter in the company’s evolution.
More than a rebrand, IMT represents the evolution of a business that has spent years helping its customers solve complex operational challenges through the successful integration of world-class technologies, engineering expertise, implementation capability and long-term operational support.
Reflecting this journey, IMT has adopted a new brand promise: turning complexity into certainty. Today, IMT positions itself as Africa’s leading integrated productivity and safety solutions partner, working alongside mining companies to improve safety, increase productivity and simplify operational complexity through fully integrated solutions.
Rather than supplying individual products, IMT combines leading global mining technologies with its own engineering capability, project delivery expertise and field support to create integrated solutions tailored to each customer’s operational environment. Its capabilities span collision prevention systems, fleet safety, intelligent monitoring, mining communications, auto-electrical solutions, engineering services, lighting and technical field support, all delivered through strategic partnerships with some of the world’s leading mining technology providers.
“Technology on its own doesn’t solve mining’s challenges,” says Gert Roselt, Chief Executive Officer of IMT. “Success comes from integrating the right technologies with the right engineering, the right people and disciplined execution. That is where IMT creates value. We exist to simplify complexity so our customers can focus on what they do best – mining. Turning Complexity into Certainty is far more than a brand promise; it defines how we partner with our customers every day.”
A strategic partnership for the future
The launch of the IMT brand coincides with a significant milestone in the company’s growth journey through the introduction of a new shareholding structure.
AIH Capital, Kleoss Capital and Ditiro Capital – three highly respected South African private equity firms that are black-owned, and in the case of AIH Capital and Ditiro Capital, women-led, have invested in IMT. They join InspireX Collective, the investment vehicle through which our senior management team holds its stake, and the Gert Roselt Family Trust, which continues to hold a significant shareholding in the business.
The new ownership structure creates a diversified and empowered shareholder base while strengthening IMT’s governance framework and providing broader access to strategic expertise and long-term growth capital.
Existing executive leadership remains firmly in place, ensuring continuity of strategy, customer relationships and operational excellence.
The investment reflects strong confidence in IMT’s experienced leadership team, proven operating model and long-term strategy to become one of Africa’s most trusted integrated productivity and safety solutions partners.
“This is far more than a shareholder transaction,” says Roselt. “It is a vote of confidence in our people, our strategy and the future we are building together. Our new shareholders have not changed who we are—rather, they have strengthened us for the next phase of our growth trajectory. Together we are building an African business with African expertise that is ready to help shape the future of mining across the continent.”
For Jesmane Boggenpoel, Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer of AIH Capital, the investment represents more than financial backing. “We believe IMT has built a business with a strong reputation, exceptional leadership and significant long-term growth potential. Our investment demonstrates how private capital can support innovation, inclusive ownership, job creation and sustainable value creation while strengthening South Africa’s industrial and mining ecosystem. We are excited to partner with IMT’s management team and our fellow investors as the business enters this exciting new chapter.”
Madichaba Nhlumayo, CEO of Ditiro Capital, says: “We are pleased to be part of the next phase of IMT’s growth trajectory as the business continues to provide safety-centric solutions that support zero harm on mining operations, improve operational performance and deliver sustainability outcomes through technology-enabled systems supported by boots-on-the-ground expertise.”
“IMT is the kind of business Kleoss Capital is excited to support, with proven leadership, a strong operational reputation, and meaningful opportunities for continued growth across the region,” says Zain Laher, Partner and Co-Founder of Kleoss Capital. “We are excited to add our strategic value as IMT enters this next chapter.”
Building the future of mining
The new IMT identity reflects the company’s evolution into an integrated solutions business. Its interconnected brand elements symbolise collaboration, engineering excellence, innovation and the increasingly connected nature of modern mining operations. Together, they reinforce IMT’s commitment to helping customers operate safer, smarter and more productively through integrated solutions that deliver certainty in increasingly complex operating environments.
Looking towards Vision 2030 and beyond, IMT is focused on sustainable regional growth, continued innovation and creating long-term value for its customers, employees, shareholders and strategic partners.
As mining continues to evolve, IMT believes technology alone will not define the future of the industry. “Success will belong to organisations capable of integrating technology, engineering, people and execution into practical solutions that create measurable business outcomes,” says Roselt. “That is the future IMT is helping to build. Our name has changed. Our commitment hasn’t.”
