AfricaChemical Supplier & Exporter to Namibia
Uranium mines in the Erongo region, zinc and gold operations, and fish processing at Walvis Bay and Lüderitz shape Namibia's demand for chemicals. Desalination and water treatment on an arid coast consume inorganic chemicals, and planned green-hydrogen projects are drawing new laboratory activity. Walvis Bay is also a regional gateway, so we ship there by sea for both Namibian buyers and inland neighbours, and send smaller analytical orders by air to Windhoek.
