The future of mining in the DRC will not be flown in. It will be built here, with the people, partners, and businesses of this country.
That was the resounding message from AECI Mining Chemicals today at DRC Mining Week 2025, as the company used its full presence at the event to reinforce its long-term commitment to the country and its call for a mining sector grounded in local partnerships, industrial sustainability, and shared prosperity.
Vision 2025–2030
Held under the banner “20 Years of Shaping Mining in the DRC: Creating a Roadmap for the Future – Vision 2025–2030,” this year’s DRC Mining Week was a milestone moment – one that demanded more than product showcases or promotional stands. For AECI Mining Chemicals, it was a platform to lead by example, showing what a truly integrated, localised, and responsible mining business strategy looks like.
From the outset, the company’s stand made a statement. Each day, local resellers, key partners in AECI’s country strategy, were co-hosted at the stand, not as guests, but as equals. They interacted directly with visitors, fielded technical queries, shared insights from the ground, and represented the AECI brand with credibility born from local experience. This wasn’t just optics – It was structure. It was strategy in motion.
