The award, presented at the Queensland Mining Industry Health and Safety Conference, validates years of engineering and field testing aimed at replacing conventional tires with air-suspension technology. For CEO Harmen van Kamp, the peer-reviewed honor serves as a critical endorsement from professionals who manage daily health and safety risks at active mine sites. The company is now leveraging this momentum to scale its operations, recently opening a dedicated Center of Excellence in Australia to bridge the gap between prototype testing and procurement.

Simultaneously, the firm is seeking to raise $2.6 million through a new Regulation Crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine. This capital injection follows a broader funding history totaling over $10.5 million, which has supported an intellectual property portfolio now encompassing 75 issued patents. Having previously completed successful extreme-condition testing in the U.S. Iron Ore belt, GACW is positioning its technology as a long-term solution for heavy equipment mobility in the world’s most demanding industrial environments.
