A co-founder of FlowCentric Mining Technology in 2012 and the company Director of Sales & Marketing today, Jaco Coetzee has been responsible for the expansion of FlowCentric Mining Technology for over 12 years. Before Jaco co-founded FlowCentric Mining Technology, he was already an experienced entrepreneur, having conducted business in Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique and Botswana.

Jaco’s biggest pride, after his family, is having assisted in securing a contract with Pilansberg Platinum Mines when FlowCentric Mining Technology was still in its infancy. This contract helped skyrocket the company to where it is today, which speaks to Jaco’s ability to close a sales deal that can afford FlowCentric greater growth and opportunities. Jaco’s love for the environment is evident in the eco-friendly solutions that FlowCentric Mining Technology provides, as well as in the time he spends in the wilderness and on the golf course to destress and appreciate the beauty of nature around him. As the Sales & Marketing Director, Jaco is responsible for building highly skilled sales teams, driving business growth and taking initiatives that expand the reach of FlowCentric Mining Technology’s global market, which is evident in the company’s presence in Australia, Chile, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia.
