At KEMA (E.A.) Limited, our mission has always been clear: to protect people and empower businesses to operate safely, efficiently, and confidently. For more than 35 years, we have been a trusted supplier and distributor of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and industrial safety solutions across East Africa. Today, we are proud to announce a bold new step in our growth journey: the opening of our new branch in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Why Lubumbashi?
Lubumbashi, the mining capital of the DRC, is not only the country’s second-largest city but also one of the most important industrial hubs in Central Africa. The city is home to thriving sectors such as mining, manufacturing, logistics, and construction — industries where workplace safety is not optional, but essential.
By establishing a physical presence in Lubumbashi, we are strategically positioning ourselves to:
- Serve customers more efficiently by reducing delivery timelines and eliminating cross-border procurement challenges.
- Provide tailored safety solutions that meet the unique needs of the mining and industrial workforce in the region.
- Build stronger partnerships with local businesses by offering on-the-ground support and expertise.
What Customers Can Expect
Our new branch in Lubumbashi will give businesses in the DRC direct access to our wide range of globally certified PPE and safety products. As with all our operations, we remain committed to international safety standards, including CE, SABS, EN, and BS certifications.
From head-to-toe protective gear to specialized industrial safety solutions, customers can expect:
- Authenticity and quality assurance – eliminating the risk of counterfeit or substandard products.
- Streamlined procurement – consolidating multiple safety categories under one trusted supplier.
- Expert guidance – our experienced team will provide tailored recommendations to meet industry-specific needs.
