Mark Van Kleek completed his undergraduate degree in mining and mineral processing from the University of British Columbia (UBC). He began his career in aggregates and industrial minerals before advancing to gravity processing technology. After extensive world travel and on-site experience, Mark attended Simon Fraser University to complete a Masters of Business Administration with a specialty in technology development. Mark returned to the mining and mineral processing industry, to work with environmentally friendly technologies before accepting the role as president of Falcon Concentrators in 2004. Under Mark’s guidance, Falcon Concentrators purchased Sepro Mineral Processing International which amalgamated the two companies into what is now known as Sepro Mineral Systems Corp. Through Mark’s strategic decision making, senior leadership and technical experience, Sepro Mineral Systems continues to add to its well-developed product lines and enjoys aggressive growth. Mark looks forward to expanding Sepro’s range of products and services to meet the ever-changing needs of the mining and mineral processing industry.
