WINDMILL

WINDMILL is the largest 100% privately-owned fertiliser producer in Southern Africa outside South Africa with principal market in Zimbabwe while exporting its products mainly to Zambia and Malawi, and a certain amount to Mozambique with long term plans to pursue opportunities in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Angola.

Windmill is a privately owned company which until 1970 was a wholly owned subsidiary of Windmill Holland, a company that dates back to the 1920s. The Zimbabwe company was originally set up in 1947 though production of granulated fertiliser began in earnest in 1960 using a dry mixing and steam granulation process whereby imported powdered raw materials were mixed and granulated into a variety of compound fertilisers for the local market.
