Company services Zambian smelters remotely, eyes expansion
Local foundry company Thos Begbie opened a workshop in Solwezi, Zambia, in March last year to supply and service copper smelters in the region more efficiently; however, the impact of Covid-19 has forced the company to close its workshop indefinitely. “There has been a drastic decrease in smelting activities in Zambia during this period. As such, we pulled our technicians back from Zambia and mothballed the workshop until further notice. We will now focus on offering on-site assistance with remote workshop establishments on the major sites,” states Thos Begbie sales representative Alex Nhlapo.
