 our business pillars

Mining

For more than 120 years, AECI has been at the forefront of cutting-edge innovations that have helped change the face of mining locally and globally. Today, the mining industry accounts for more than half of AECI’s revenue and this industry remains a strategic priority for the Group as a whole.

Water

Our main focus is maximising water utilisation efficiencies by delivering high quality water treatment chemistries and mechanical solutions for potable and process water separation as well as optimising industrial water usage.

Agri health

AECI Agri Health helps farmers grow. Smart farming technologies and a commitment to small-scale farmers are key drivers of success. Doing so helps reduce food insecurity in Africa and gives people the hope and opportunity for better lives.

Chemicals

Good chemistry is at the heart of modern life and living. There can be no advancement without it. While AECI Chemicals is a supplier to many diverse industry sectors, we’re also making significant strides in green chemistry through a commitment to innovation and partnerships.
