Established in 1978, Minproc expanded rapidly on the back of high quality engineering services provided to the Australian mining and resources industry.

Over the years that followed, Minproc delivered more Australian gold projects than any other company, and diversified into a range of mineral commodities to deliver outstanding projects throughout the world. In this time, the company worked in locations as diverse as Ghana, Mauritania, Bolivia, Oman, Indonesia and China.

In April 2000, Minproc was acquired as a wholly owned subsidiary of its major shareholder - GRD Limited. Merging with GRD Limited provided Minproc with the backing of a strong balance sheet, ensuring the company had the resources it needs to successfully execute large-scale development projects around the world.

In 2005, the corporate administration functions of GRD and GRD Minproc integrated to provide greater efficiency and a clearer platform for project delivery. GRD Minproc continued to demonstrate its technical innovation, with its engineers applying their expertise in minerals extraction to household waste in designing the UR-3R (Urban Resource - Recycling, Reduction, Recovery) Process^®. The company successfully implemented this technology at the Eastern Creek Facility in Sydney and has since been contracted to design and construct the Lancashire Waste Partnership PFI Project in the United Kingdom.

In 2008, Minproc celebrated its 30th year of operation.

In November 2009, the company was acquired as a wholly owned subsidiary of UK-based AMEC plc and is now known as AMEC Minproc.
