Stars
Enaex, Sigdo Koppers SA’s explosives arm, has become a global leader in ammonium nitrate for mining, producing ~1.1 million tonnes/year after 2025 expansions and acquisitions in Australia and Africa.
As of late 2025 Enaex increased revenues from this segment to about US$420 million and EBITDA margin ~18%, driven by higher volumes and long-term offtake contracts.
The segment sits in the BCG Stars quadrant: high market share in a high-growth market but needs heavy reinvestment—capital expenditures of ~US$120–150 million planned through 2027 to modernize plants and maintain tech leadership.
Advanced robotics and automated blasting in Enaex show high growth: Chilean mining automation investment rose 28% in 2024 to $1.2bn, and Enaex’s robotics contracts grew revenues 34% YoY to $48m in 2024, signaling strong market capture in Chile and Peru.
These technologies cut blast-related injuries by 72% and boost drilling throughput 18%, improving safety and unit economics despite rising R&D spend of ~$9m in 2024.
High R&D and capex mark this as a Star in Sigdo Koppers’ BCG Matrix—first-mover status in autonomous mining supports premium service pricing and scale advantage going into 2025.
Regional Infrastructure Engineering (ICSK) secured over US$620M in contracts across Chile, Peru, and Brazil in 2024, driven by energy transition and urban transport projects; backlog rose 18% y/y to US$1.45B as of Dec 31, 2024.
Demand is high: utility-scale renewables and transmission projects account for 54% of 2024 revenues, lifting segment EBITDA margin to ~12.2% vs 9.8% in 2023.
Capital expenditure and working capital tied to multi-year industrial assembly projects reached US$210M in 2024, reflecting elevated investment to manage complexity and schedule risk.
Specialized Logistics for Renewable Energy
SK Logística has pivoted to specialized transport for wind and solar components across Chile, Peru, and Argentina, tapping a regional renewables market growing at ~12% CAGR (2021–25) and Chile’s 2025 target of 60% renewables; this lets Sigdo Koppers leverage heavy-machinery know-how to capture leading share in oversized cargo logistics.
High capex—about US$45–60m planned 2024–25 for specialized fleets and trailers—matches a project pipeline worth roughly US$1.1bn in regional wind and solar installs, positioning the unit as a Star in the BCG matrix.

Cash Cows
In Chile Enaex holds a dominant, mature share of the blasting market, supplying over 60% of industrial explosives demand as of 2025 and serving the majority of copper miners.
The unit delivers steady, high-volume cash flow—Enaex reported CLP 240 billion in 2024 EBITDA contribution to the group—while requiring low marketing or capex versus international expansion.
These internal cash flows finance Sigdo Koppers SA diversification projects and helped service corporate debt, covering a significant portion of the group’s net interest expense (≈70% in 2024).

- 2024 revenue ~US$220m
- EBITDA margin ~18% (2024)
