WHO WE ARE

SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA'S LARGEST INTEGRATED MANUFACTURER

UMCIL specializes in the manufacturing of High Tensile Steel rebars using advanced TMT technology in compliance with British Standards BS-4449:2005 & SANS 920:2011. As Zambia's largest integrated iron and steel manufacturer, we are leading the industrial revolution across Sub-Saharan Africa.

We are the first Zambian manufacturer to produce steel bars using iron ore from our own proprietary mines. 70% of our total iron in iron ore is sourced locally, providing exceptionally high-quality raw material for sponge iron production and ensuring total supply chain independence.
