MRA Automation
Australian automation engineering firm specializing in bulk materials handling for mining; offers Axo33 software suite. Acquired by Metso in February 2026.
MRA Automation (formerly MRA Engineering) is an Australian-owned electrical and automation engineering company founded in 1998, headquartered in Warabrook, New South Wales, with an additional office in Mackay, Queensland. The company specializes in large-scale bulk materials handling automation for the mining sector, covering conveyor systems, train load-outs, dump stations, and shiploaders across mine-to-port logistics chains. MRA has delivered hundreds of conveyor automation projects and more than 50 major mobile machines across Australian and international mine and port sites.
Its flagship proprietary offering, the Axo33 Smart Automation Products suite, augments traditional PLC-based industrial systems with real-time, data-driven automation software. Axo33 is designed to integrate into existing infrastructure across all major PLC platforms — Rockwell, Schneider, Siemens, Yokogawa, and GE — and is vendor- and hardware-agnostic. Key differentiators include client ownership transparency (minimizing black-box solutions), self-maintainability, and independent engineering management capabilities.
MRA employs over 70 specialist engineers and administration staff and has partnered with international integrators to deploy its technology globally. In February 2026, MRA Automation was acquired by Metso, the Finnish industrial technology company, as part of Metso's expansion in mining automation.
