Ndola Lime Company Limited is a world-class mar-
ket leader in the safe, environmentally friendly and
efficient production of limestone products that con-
tinually meet and exceed customer requirements for
the benefit of shareholders, employees and other
stakeholders.
Ndola Lime Company Limited (NLC) is a wholly
owned subsidiary of ZCCM-IH. The Company was
originally founded on 10th January 1931 as the
Northern Rhodesia Lime Company Limited. The
results of initial lime burning trials carried out in
wood-fired, hollowed-out Anthills at Misundu 16 Km
North of Ndola, close to the Congo border in 1931,
were encouraging and led to the construction of un-
derground pot kilns. A second quarry was opened in
the late 1930’s at Chipulukusu before the company
moved to its present location at Mwatesi in 1962.
As the demand for quicklime continued to grow,
alongside the growth of the Zambian mining indus-
try, the plant continued to expand until in 1973 when,
with four Kilns in operation, a new rotary Kiln and
crushing plant were commissioned. In 1986 a 500
tonne per day annular Shaft Kiln was commissioned
to cater for the increased demand of lime especially
at the tailing leach plant in Chingola.
Ndola Lime Company Limited provides a fundamen-
tal service to any large-scale mining operations in
the country, by providing nationally sourced lime
products needed for mining, eliminating the need
to import such lime products, and ultimately reduc-
es the operational costs of running a mine. Initially
the firm and its growth relied on lime as their prime
product. Today however, Ndola Lime Company Lim-
ited provides kilnstone, quicklime, redlime, hydrated
lime, and agricultural lime all for a variety of uses. As
the sole lime company in Zambia, whose products
are crucial for all growing sectors in Zambia from
mining and manufacturing to infrastructure and agri-
culture it is intrinsically tied to the development of the
overall growth of the Zambian economy.
Ndola lime has continued to increase its exports
to the Congo DRC as mining operations have in-
creased in the region. Ndola Lime Company Limited
also has a strong export market in Burundi, Namibia,
Malawi, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe as well.
Recent capital expenditures on new machinery
and energy efficient rotary kilns have been made
to become even more competitive on the market, to
lower production costs, improve production capacity,
become more environmentally friendly and overall
much more efficient.
Ndola Lime Company Limited is excited to hear from
prospective international investors, businesses, and
partners alike in order to forge new partnerships and
to help businesses grow and in addition to contribute
substantially to the Zambian economy.
With such a well established and highly respected
brand name, accompanied by healthy growth and
developments within the sector over the past 80
years, Ndola Lime Company Limited is in a power-
ful position, and is a perfect partner for all investors,
partners, suppliers and newcomers to the mining
sector and beyond here in Zambia as well as the
greater SADC region.
As a way of supporting the broader community,
Ndola Lime Company Limited has taken up various
community developments, empowerment and other
activities throughout the country. Amongst them is
their support to traditional ceremonies, as well as
financial and material support to the community at
large. Sponsorship of Lime Hot Spurs Football Club
is another initiative that the NLC has supported.
