Since its inception in 2000, Tembo Steels has been a leader in steel manufacturing in Uganda, pioneering innovations like TMT bars production and lightweight structural steel. The company is the sole provider of primary steel production in the country, utilizing Directly Reduced Iron (DRI) to ensure high-quality products while setting benchmarks for purity and strength.

Awasthi highlighted Uganda's steel industry trends, noting its transition from reliance on secondary steel production to a more advanced, value-added model. Despite challenges from foreign competition, such as Chinese imports, Tembo Steels has maintained its competitive edge by innovating and expanding its production capacities, including a soon-to-launch DRI plant.

Sustainability is at the heart of Tembo Steels� operations, as it drives green steel practices in Uganda. The company has achieved a carbon emissions matrix close to 70%, far exceeding global averages. Awasthi emphasized the need for collective action in reducing CO2 emissions, especially as Uganda steel manufacturers strive to align with international sustainability standards.

In addition to its industrial achievements, Tembo Steels is deeply committed to corporate social responsibility in Uganda, contributing to healthcare and environmental initiatives. From producing oxygen during the COVID-19 crisis to conducting extensive plantation projects, the company underscores its dedication to community well-being.

Looking ahead, Awasthi envisions Tembo Steels setting global benchmarks in sustainable steel production, reinforcing its leadership in the Uganda steel market while continuing to innovate and support the country’s economic growth.
