Jon Stanton, Chief Executive Officer of Weir, stated that the acquisition "will accelerate our expansion into the South American mining software market, providing a strong and immediate presence in Brazil, home to some of the world’s largest mineral deposits."

The company noted that Fast2Mine’s platform is offered as a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution comprising four modules with a web-native interface focused on ease of use and advanced reporting functionality.

Weir confirmed that the acquisition will not change its full-year revenue, operating profit, and leverage guidance as of July 31, 2025. The company still expects its net debt to EBITDA ratio to remain below 2x at December 31, 2025.
