Consolidation and bonded handling at Mombasa or Dar es Salaam for cargo moving inland to Kampala.

Where our steel goes
Sectors we supply in Uganda.
Construction & housing
Rebar, mesh, hollow sections and roofing coil for urban and institutional building work.
Oil, gas & energy
Line pipe, plate and structural steel supporting energy infrastructure and related contractor supply.
Light manufacturing
Cold rolled and galvanised coil for furniture, appliance and roll-formed products.
As a landlocked market, Ugandan steel pricing is corridor-sensitive: the routing and haulage plan often matters as much as the mill price.

- How does steel reach Uganda?
- From African mills, moving inland to Kampala by road and rail. Where cargo passes through Mombasa or Dar es Salaam, the corridor is chosen on cost and congestion at the time of shipment.
- Can you quote delivered Kampala?
- Yes. We quote ex-mill, at the corridor handling point, or delivered Kampala with haulage and clearing included.
- What is the minimum order for Uganda?
- A single truckload or container of one grade is workable; mixed loads are possible where sizes are compatible.
- Do you provide mill test certificates?
- Yes. Every consignment ships with mill test certificates matched to the heat numbers supplied, plus inspection reports when third-party inspection is appointed.
