Newrest’s mining sites in Latin America

Newrest delivers camp services in mining sites located in Bolivia, Chile, Colombia and Peru. In each of these mines, the group provides 3 catering services per day, up to 40,000 meals per day.

Multiservice solutions are offered to 8 mining sites in Peru. Newrest’s biggest operation offers 12,000 meals per day, manages 4,000 beds around 40,000 square meters with a Newrest team of 744 collaborators.

In Bolivia, Colombia and Chile, Newrest is also providing services to different mines. Most of them require more than catering, and that’s why Newrest has created a comprehensive service offer that ranges from delivering meals to facility management.

Why is Newrest the ideal partner for mining industry services?

A task force always there to support the mining sector

The group has shown more than once its capability of mobilizing skilled and experienced teams to adapt to the living conditions on site and requirements of its clients.

Since each site is unique, Newrest hires and train its staff in order to create tailor-made teams. For each contract, we have been able to deploy a taskforce to ensure that operations ran smoothly from day one.

360° by Newrest, from catering to facility management

On each remote site, Newrest manages the kitchens and dining halls and hires the staff that works on board (POB). But Newrest’s offer goes beyond catering: depending on the site’s need, other services can be implemented.

The 360° service solution answers all the needs of mining sites at all levels and at all times. Newrest adapts its facility management offer and integrates the necessary services in each site’s environment. Facility management includes hard services such as maintenance, landscaping or pest control, and soft services such as housekeeping, catering, leisure or security.

Ensuring the safety on the mining sites

As in all its business sectors, Newrest has developed several safety, quality and environmental standards.

In the context of mines, Newrest makes sure that its collaborators and workers can work in the best conditions possible and, of course, is also committed to food and camp safety. The group has even created a safety and hygiene label SAFE by Newrest.

Improving the living conditions on mining sites

The goal is not only to provide a place where workers can eat and sleep, but to create a living space, with activities and entertainment. Newrest can establish and manage bars, libraries, sports facilities, movie theaters, and so much more.

Newrest has developed the Feel Good program to promote well-being at work. It’s designed to highlight the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and includes interesting information, tips and best practices easy to understand and to implement in the everyday life.

Newrest has developed various catering concepts for its clients. These include harmonious furniture and signage elements that can be adapted to each context. On mining sites, the concepts help improve the living environment for employees.

At most remote sites, Newrest is dedicated to improve local content by employing local workers and partnering with local businesses.

Newrest is present in 56 countries in the world and manages remotes sites in other regions. The remote site, catering and facility management sector represented a turnover of more than 732 million euros and more than 20 thousand employees in 2022-2023.
