Zinchem

Zimco Metals, formerly known as Zinchem, is a South African producer of zinc-based industrial chemicals and materials. The company manufactures products including zinc oxide, zinc dust, zinc alloys, and zinc sulphate, serving customers in industrial, agricultural, feed, paint, rubber, and some pharmaceutical-related end markets. It operates from Benoni near Johannesburg and supplies both domestic and international markets. Zinchem appears to be a division or subsidiary within the broader Zimco Group rather than a drug-development biotech or pharmaceutical company. Its business is centered on commercial-scale production of zinc chemicals rather than therapeutic R&D.
