Follow the starWhy Canopus
Canopus — Suhail in Arabic — is the second-brightest star in the night sky. In the Gulf, its rising marks the end of the summer heat: relief, movement, the season of trade. From the Atacama, it burns near the zenith over the world's great copper mines. Two deserts on mirrored latitudes, one star between them. That is the company.
23°S — Antofagasta, Chile
The driest desert on Earth, and the proving ground of global mining. Whatever survives here — coatings, hygiene systems, equipment — has already passed the hardest test there is.
This is where our products earn their credentials, serving the most demanding industrial operations in the Southern Hemisphere.
