Transalloys

Transalloys produces Sillicomanganese for world markets. The plant is owned by Renova Mining Industries, a Russian company that invested in South Africa in 2007. Renova has a share in the UMK manganese mine situated in the Kalahari, from where the ore is sourced for conversion to Silicomanganese.. The plant is situated 14 km West of eMalahleni and approximately 90 Km East of Pretoria. Production capacity is approximately 170 000 tonnes of Sillicomanganese per annum. This figure has increased dramatically during the past 4 years, as a result of a concerted effort by our employees to increase efficiencies and performance. The standard grade Silicomanganese contains 15.5 to 16.5% of silicon, 65 to 67% of manganese and a maximum of 2% carbon. SiMn is used, inter alia as a grain refiner and for de-oxidation in the steel manufacturing process. Our Vision is to become a benchmark in the Manganese alloy industry through our people, flexibility and pursuing results. We aim to achieve this by adhering to our values of integrity, excellence, teamwork and commitment.
