CMC Trading & Investments is a Zambian holding company executing real trade flows and deploying long-term capital across the SADC region. We build infrastructure, not hype.
CMC runs a trading arm that moves goods across borders and an investment arm that takes long positions in real assets and operating businesses. Both are governed by the same standard: margin, control, and cashflow velocity.
Sourcing, financing, freight, clearing and distribution across commodities, FMCG and industrial supply. We execute on tight timelines and tighter margins.
Strategic stakes in real estate, operating businesses, logistics infrastructure and digital ventures. We hold for value, not for headlines.
Procurement, treasury, logistics and compliance shared across portfolio companies. Centralised cost, decentralised execution.
Maize, soya, sugar, cotton
Copper, manganese, industrial minerals
Imports, retail supply, branded goods
Equipment, construction inputs, B2B
Our investment arm builds positions in assets that produce yield and operating businesses that scale. We back founders we know, sectors we understand, and balance sheets we can read.
See the portfolioWe do not chase revenue that does not pay. Every trade and every investment passes a margin test before capital moves.
We own the parts of the value chain that protect our economics — sourcing, logistics, compliance — and partner everywhere else.
We build systems that compound. Repeatable trade flows, durable infrastructure, businesses that run without constant intervention.
New regional warehouse and last-mile network goes live, supporting branded-goods clients across Ndola, Kitwe and Solwezi.
CMC takes a controlling position in a cross-border haulage operator linking Zambia, DRC and Tanzania.
Soya and maize trading volumes up materially year-on-year as our origination network deepens across SADC.
Whether you're sourcing goods, looking for a regional distribution partner, or considering co-investment, our team is ready to talk.
