International footprint

AECI HAS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETED A R2 BILLION STRATEGIC CAPITAL INVESTMENT PROGRAMME TO ENHANCE ITS FUTURE GROWTH, WITH PARTICULAR EMPHASIS ON MINING AND MANUFACTURING.

THE COMPANY IS DOMICILED IN SOUTH AFRICA AND IS LISTED ON THE JSE LIMITED.

1 The Group is leveraging AEL Mining Services’ extensive African footprint to provide a channel for other businesses to market their products and services across the continent. Similarly, the Group’s suite of mining services will be grown and developed in selected markets, such as Indonesia, whilst new business opportunities in the oil, water and gas industries are being explored. Opportunities in sectors such as food chemicals and personal care are also being investigated in African countries with growing consumer markets. These initiatives have significant scope and are indicative of the extent of AECI’s growth potential.
   
2 AEL Mining Services has a presence in 23 countries. In line with its international strategy, it has moved successfully into South East Asia, Europe and Latin America. The company’s largest site is at Modderfontein, Gauteng.

The specialty chemicals cluster has major sites in Johannesburg and Durban, with a number of smaller operations country-wide. The Group’s mining chemicals thrust is anchored in Senmin, part of the specialty chemicals cluster. Senmin operates at Sasolburg in the Free State.

Heartland’s land holdings are significant and are located in prime locations near Johannesburg and Cape Town. More than 3 000 hectares of land are available for redevelopment over the next 25 years for residential, commercial and industrial end uses and for leasing purposes.
