Key Events and Partnerships: Building Global Connections

This year, aranzu strengthened its presence on the international stage, attending Mining Indabas in Namibia, Ghana, and the DRC. These events have been invaluable in fostering relationships, exploring industry trends, and showcasing our innovative solutions.

Our partnerships with world-class clients, including DeBeers Marines, North Mara, Kibali, Sukari, AngloGold Ashanti, Dundee Precious Metals, Kamoa, B2Gold, Barrick Saudi, Platreef, and Kipushi Mine, continued to thrive. This year’s travels to Ghana, Namibia, Egypt, Zambia, Tanzania, and the DRC deepened these connections, enabling us to deliver tailored solutions that truly make a difference.

Innovation, Sustainability, and Milestones in Products

At aranzu, innovation is at the heart of what we do. In 2024, we developed 24 new products and laid the groundwork for 17 more in the coming year. Our new products workshop and R&D facility in Cape Town has been instrumental in enabling these advancements. In line with our commitment to sustainability, aranzu is going green. Most of our products are now fully recyclable, reflecting our dedication to reducing environmental impact while maintaining the highest standards of quality. Additionally, we’re proud to share that we’ve been awarded a significant valve tender for a mine in South Africa, a testament to our reputation for excellence and reliability. Our efforts to strengthen our brand included the launch of a brand-new website and the addition of beautiful functional art to our Cape Town office, blending aesthetics with creativity to represent the aranzu ethos.
