The capital and main distribution centre, with factories in its multi-facility economic zone. V-belts and pulleys stretch, crack and wear with every running hour, so compressors, mills, threshers and pump sets need replacement sets on the shelf.
Zambia is Africa's second-largest copper producer. The Copperbelt drives most industrial demand, while Lusaka is the commercial centre. Cargo arrives by road or rail through Dar es Salaam, Durban, Beira or Walvis Bay.
