We are Logistics
Nomela Holdings is a Zimbabwe-based group, owned by the Nomela Family Trust, built around an established logistics platform and integrating into mining and commodities along a single trade corridor.
From a single logistics company started with $1,050 in 2015, we have grown into a group with an 18-truck fleet, a blue-chip anchor tenant (Schweppes), a verified chrome resource, and a clear growth plan built on nine years of operating history.
To build a timeless pan-African organisation.
To create exceptional stakeholder value through the efficient integration of industries.
The Group is wholly owned by the Nomela Family Trust, established to protect assets, ensure seamless succession, and preserve generational wealth.
Pragmatism — We take practical action to solve problems.
Faith — Where there is a will there is a way. We are positive in our approach.
Pan African — We build the continent, step by step.
Teamwork — We support you and we support ourselves. Everyone's contribution counts.
Initiative — We strive to find better ways of doing things.
Nomela Holdings operates across logistics, real estate, mining, and commodities. Each subsidiary is independently registered and ring-fenced, but integrated to serve the Group's single trade corridor.
Heavy-haul trucking, clearing, warehousing, and forwarding across the Beira and North-South corridors.

Nomela Logistics handles the movement of goods through trucking, customs clearing, warehousing, and forwarding, formerly trading as International Freight Services (IFS) since 2015. It serves both internal Group companies and external clients across Zimbabwe and the SADC region.
Nomela Properties owns and manages the Group's industrial real estate. Its flagship asset is a 1-hectare industrial depot in Willowvale, Harare, featuring a fully operational warehouse, office, and maintenance garage.
Nomela Mining extracts and processes minerals in Zimbabwe, with its flagship site at Lalapanzi, on the Great Dyke, upgrading a 13.7% feed grade to a 46–50% export-grade chrome concentrate through surface gravity washing, not deep-shaft mining.
Lalapanzi is the first of what we intend to be several sites. Our team is actively evaluating additional claims, and the same extraction and processing capability extends to other minerals, including iron and lithium, as new opportunities are secured.
Zimbabwe holds an estimated 12% of the world's high-grade chromite reserves. Chrome is essential to stainless steel production, and structural supply constraints in the global market have kept international prices firm.
Nomela Commodities is a multi-commodity trading desk, sourcing grain and other agricultural inputs for the Zimbabwean market, not a single-product importer. Rice from India is the current lead product, moved on Nomela Logistics' return-leg capacity from the Port of Beira, but the desk trades other agricultural staples as well, and handles the market-facing sale of minerals extracted by Nomela Mining, including chrome, iron, and lithium, as those positions come online.
Much of this trade is capital-light: a buyer can approach Nomela Commodities directly to order product against upfront payment, for example a rice repacker ordering several containers on their own account, with Nomela handling sourcing and movement rather than carrying the position itself.
Zimbabwe's rice consumption has grown from 12,000 tonnes/year in 2005 to 264,000 tonnes in 2023, and is projected to reach roughly 800,000 tonnes/year by 2030, driven by a generational shift toward rice as a daily staple.
Nomela Holdings is committed to transparency and open communication with our investors and partners.
