Country guide
Buying Atlas Copco equipment in Zambia
Zambia is Africa's second-largest copper producer after DR Congo, and the government aims to reach 3 million tonnes of copper a year by 2031. Mining drives most heavy equipment demand, centred on the Copperbelt (Kitwe, Ndola, Chingola) and North-Western Province around Solwezi, home to some of the largest open-pit mines.
