European Industrial Equipment and Spare Parts for the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Copper and cobalt operations across Haut-Katanga and Lualaba run intensive hydrometallurgical circuits — SX/EW tank houses, acid plants, thickeners and high-wear slurry duties — largely equipped with European pumps, agitators, drives and instrumentation. Consumption of wear and rotating spares is high and local availability is limited.
