History

Where we come from

Nyanza Light Metals was set up by Arkein Capital in 2011 for the purpose of exploring the possibility of producing titanium dioxide (TiO2) pigment from processing conventional ilmenite ores, rutile slags and blending waste titanium slags, which are in abundance in South Africa.

Nyanza is developing a manufacturing operation that will produce 80,000 tons per annum of TiO2 pigment which is used in paints and plastics, cosmetics, inks, dyes and a whole range of other everyday products. The plant will be located in the Richards Bay Industrial Development Zone (IDZ) situated in Alton, Richards Bay, 190km north-east of Durban in South Africa.
