Our vision at Luma Africa is to responsibly mine, process  and smelt minerals sourced in the East African region to produce high quality tin metal for our customers in Europe and North America. The proximity of our smelter to the source of minerals, easy access to East African ports and consumption of electrical energy generated entirely from renewable sources result in a lower carbon footprint of our tin throughout the value chain. Furthermore, Luma Africa’s investments in mines, infrastructure and processing facilities contribute to the region’s economic development, creates direct job opportunities and supports the hosting communities.
