About Chromtech Holdings
From chrome recovery to a modern industrial group
Chromtech Holdings is a diversified industrial group built on solid mining foundations and shaped by nearly two decades of operational experience.
What began in 2006 as a chrome recovery business has evolved into a connected portfolio spanning mining, building materials, logistics, steel trading and the global clean-energy value chain.
As a holding company, Chromtech provides strategic direction, governance and shared services that strengthen each subsidiary. Our businesses operate with autonomy, aligned by a shared purpose: to create long-term value across essential industries while uplifting the communities around us.
Our beginnings
Chromtech’s journey began with a focused proposition: recover chrome efficiently, responsibly and at scale. This operational discipline shaped a culture of efficiency, innovation and continuous improvement that remains central to the Group today.
As markets evolved, Chromtech expanded with intent – building capabilities, strengthening partnerships and investing where we could create lasting value.
Mining remains our foundation
Mining continues to sit at the heart of the Group.
Through Limberg Mining Company and the Thaba Joint Venture, Chromtech has expanded into multi-metal production, including PGMs and broader beneficiation.
This evolution strengthens our mining portfolio, improves value capture and positions the Group for long-term relevance in changing commodity markets.
A diversified, future-ready portfolio
Around our mining core, Chromtech has grown into a connected industrial group with complementary businesses that reinforce one another:
Dukathole South Africa
delivers high-quality bricks and paving materials with a growing national footprint.
Bleskop Rail & Logistics
supports our logistics backbone, enabling increased throughput and regional bulk-handling capacity.
Metals And Alloyed Steel Traders (MAST)
provides specialised steel and aluminium sourcing for local and global markets.
Thakadu Battery Metals
positions Chromtech within the global clean‑energy value chain through battery‑grade material supply.
Together, these businesses form an integrated platform that is resilient, flexible and positioned for continued growth.
