Insimbi Alloy Supplies specialise in the supply of industrial consumables to a wide range of markets.

In other words, we supply ferrous and non-ferrous metals and refractory products from a wide variety of producers. We then package, store, finance and, in some cases add value to these products before selling them to you. We also provide technical support and mechanical services to many industries as a value-add to clients.

We do not manufacture steel, stainless steel, cement, paper, refractories or castings, but the raw materials that we provide will help our clients produce these products. Our client markets include the construction, infrastructure, automotive, cement and mining industries to name but a few.

Our divisions

In order to best meet the needs of our customers, we have subdivided Insimbi Alloy Supplies into twelve divisions, each one geared to meet the specific needs and demands of a specific market:

Our Rotary Kiln Division provides all the refractory materials you might need to ensure the longevity and efficiency of your rotary kilns. Our materials are consistently used in a wide range of kilns with our largest client base being the cement industry.

We offer an extensive range of bricking solutions including alumina and basic bricks as well as shapes and design for specialised applications like bull nose, cooler roof and cyclone bricks.

This division works very closely with our Refractory Division but is strategically ring-fenced to meet the unique needs of rotary kiln clients. As a result, our materials and services come with expert advice based on years of professional experience in the local and international rotary markets. Our speciality also allows us to focus on continuous development of our offerings.

By using the Insimbi Rotary Kiln Division, you have access to an extensive range of refractory monolithics, high-pressure gunning equipment, state of the art refractory engineering and lining design as well as on-site installation supervision by trained experts. We also provide your staff with installation training where required.

Non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper, and zinc will always play a vital role in the manufacturing industry since they are irreplaceable for many products in the automotive, mechanical engineering, and construction sectors.

It is for this reason that we have a division dedicated to supplying a comprehensive range of non-ferrous consumables and hardware to local and global markets. Our clients consist mainly of primary and secondary aluminium smelters, copper smelters, non-ferrous foundries and the electroplating and galvanising industries.

Insimbi ‘s Fibres division supplies steel and polypropylene fibres used to reinforce concrete.

Reinforced concrete has a higher tensile strength and higher resistance to cracking and is, therefore, used in a wide variety of applications such as tunnelling, heavy duty roads, airport runways, dam walls, and well-trafficked floors. In South Africa, reinforced concrete is also commonly used in the mining industry.

Our range of fibres is supplied according to the length and size that you need for each order.
