MIPAC director and business development manager Mr Richard Harvey has retired this week, ending his stellar 48-year engineering career during a period of strong growth for the company.
An experienced industrial process and control engineer, Mr Harvey joined MIPAC in 2006 and has helped secure major accounts across a range of industries, including mining and mineral processing, food and beverage, and water treatment.
Notably, he increased the project business with new and existing customers; furthered the development of MIPAC product sales; and steered the move into the food and beverage market with specialist processing product MIPAC Process Advantage™.
In addition to contributing to MIPAC’s success, he has considerable experience working with some of the industry’s most notable companies. He held senior management, business development and engineering positions with leading corporations including Yokogawa and Mount Isa Mines. He was also responsible for significant control and automation business with customers including BHP Billiton, Kagara Zinc, Xstrata, Shell Oil, BP and Mackay Sugar.
Mr Harvey started his career in 1963 at Mount Isa Mines as an apprentice electrician. On leaving MIM he held positions in plant maintenance and project engineering. In 1978, Mr Harvey joined Consolidated Rutile Ltd as the mine electrical engineer at the North Stradbroke Island sand mine. In 1985 he took up the position of control systems sales engineer with Yokogawa Australia, becoming state manager in 1986.
"Richard has worked tirelessly to help MIPAC grow its business and expand into new markets," MIPAC managing director Eddie DeRivera says.
