The ZIMEC 2026 Mining & Energy Conference in Kitwe recently concluded, leaving a trail of inspiration and new opportunities in its wake. As a gathering point for the region’s most influential innovators, the event was the perfect stage for MES (Mining Engineering Services), in strategic partnership with METMIN Limited, to showcase a shared vision for a more efficient and integrated mining industry in Zambia.
A High-Impact Presence in the Copperbelt
For MES and METMIN Limited, ZIMEC 2026 was far more than a standard exhibition it was a dynamic hub for connection and value creation. Throughout the event, our joint representatives engaged in deep dialogues with mining giants, investors, and technical professionals eager to push the boundaries of productivity through world-class engineering.
The MES team shared firsthand insights into our latest industrial and mining solutions, emphasizing our growing footprint across the region’s most critical hubs, including Lubumbashi, Likasi, Kolwezi, Goma, Kasumbalesa, and Kinshasa. By bridging the gap between Zambia and the DRC, this partnership continues to prove its role as a vital regional pillar.
Building Relationships Through Real Dialogue
At MES, we believe that the best engineering solutions start with a conversation. One of the most rewarding aspects of ZIMEC 2026 was the chance to sit down alongside METMIN Limited with partners and clients to discuss the “boots-on-the-ground” realities of the industry.
Our discussions centered on three core pillars:
- Operational Excellence: Deploying MES innovative technologies to streamline mining workflows.
- Process Optimization: Strengthening industrial systems for long-term sustainability.
- Strategic Collaboration: Creating “win-win” partnerships between MES and METMIN Limited that benefit the entire regional ecosystem.
These interactions reinforced our collective reputation as a trusted, expert provider of mining engineering services across Southern and Central Africa.
Networking That Fuels Real Growth
The energy at ZIMEC 2026 was palpable, especially during the high-value networking sessions. MES and METMIN Limited successfully connected with a diverse array of stakeholders, from global suppliers and mining operators to government representatives and industry experts.
These exchanges are the fuel for our future projects. By fostering a collaborative environment, we are helping to build a more robust Zambian mining ecosystem that can compete on a global scale.

MES remains steadfast in its mission to be a catalyst for growth across the African industrial sector. Our participation in ZIMEC 2026, alongside METMIN Limited, is a testament to our dedication to innovation, professional excellence, and sustainable development.
The insights gained and the partnerships forged in Kitwe are the stepping stones for our continued expansion. As we look ahead, MES and METMIN Limited are better positioned than ever to deliver impact, reliability, and world-class service to our clients in both Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
