Built on a vendor-first model that turns informal scrap networks into a formalised, technology-driven supply chain — creating value at every step.

Our Story

How It Works

Scrap.
Steel.
Closed loop.

Tanzania's first fully integrated circular steel supply chain — connecting informal scrap vendors to certified construction steel in five steps. No intermediaries.

01

Collection

5,000+ registered vendors bring scrap to our collection points. Mobile app — transparent weight, fair price, instant mobile money.

02

Sorting

Material graded at our yards. Contaminants removed. Every batch logged by weight, type, and source vendor. Chain of custody intact.

03

Melting

Sorted scrap fed into electric arc furnaces at 1,600°C. Energy-efficient, low-emission. Molten steel tested for chemistry before casting.

04

Rolling

Billets hot-rolled into BS 500B-grade TMT rebar. Rib pattern, diameter, and strength verified against spec on every run.

05

Distribution

30+ owned trucks deliver TBS-certified steel to 320+ active clients across Tanzania. Same-day dispatch from in-stock inventory.

Circular by design. Every tonne of steel we produce uses recycled scrap — reducing CO₂ emissions by up to 58% versus virgin steel production.
