DRC: Mining Giant with Massive Infrastructure Needs
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is the world's largest cobalt producer and a major copper producer, with mining operations concentrated in the Copperbelt (Lubumbashi, Kolwezi, Likasi) and growing demand across Kinshasa. The country's infrastructure needs are enormous, and construction activity is surging in major cities. TradeGo Fasteners supplies the DRC's mining giants and construction firms with high-quality, heavy-duty fasteners capable of withstanding the demanding conditions of underground mining and major construction projects.
