1:18What Uganda’s newsrooms have written about Tembo. Each story opens on the publisher’s site.
A full-page feature on Africa’s most diversified and integrated steel plant, covering all four verticals of steel: green steelmaking, the only company in Africa making HRC, structural steel, wire rod and TMT from iron ore, ultra-thin hot rolled sheet through direct rolling, and low-carbon steel from cast iron.
Umar Nsubuga interviews the chairman on arriving in Uganda in 2000, choosing Lugazi, and growing a steel maker built on local ore into the country’s largest integrated steel company, with around 3,000 people employed directly.
Tembo is named East Africa’s best manufacturer of steel and rolling products, with Gold for its TMX rebars, at the ceremony at Kampala’s Golf Course Hotel.
Tembo is among the companies honoured at the 2025 awards evening, recognised for its TMX bars.
A profile of the two-plant company that runs every phase of steelmaking in Uganda, from iron ore through to finished products.
A plant fabricated by Ugandan engineers. The President credits Tembo with reducing Africa’s reliance on imported steel and ties its output to Uganda’s railway plans.
The official account of the day: the President commends the chairman and praises locally integrated industry for keeping value inside the country.
Coverage of the regional quality awards hosted by UNBS, where Tembo shares the top honours and is noted for its quality excellence award as East Africa’s best steel and rolling manufacturer.
The exhibitor profile: virgin iron ore from Kabale, the region’s only 5.5 mm wire rod facility, and its pioneering use of cast iron as a steelmaking input.
