Alfred H Knight (AHK), a global leader in inspection, testing and consultancy services, is marking a significant milestone: ten years of successful operations in Namibia. Since establishing a presence in 2014, the company has played a key role in supporting the country’s mining and agricultural industries.
With strategic hubs in Walvis Bay and Lüderitz, AHK Namibia provides end-to-end support to the mining industry, spanning local production through to processing and international trade. Its services cover critical compliance areas including weighing, sampling and moisture determination (WSMD) for mineral concentrates, radiation monitoring, and vessel loading supervision. The company also conducts Flow Moisture Point (FMP) and Transportable Moisture Limit (TML) testing to help organisations meet international shipping requirements.
In the agricultural sector, AHK Namibia supports traders and processors in verifying the quantity, quality and traceability of their products, such as grains, oilseeds and feedstuffs, helping to ensure contract compliance, strengthen supply chain integrity and build trade confidence across Southern Africa.
The 10-year anniversary of AHK Namibia comes at a pivotal time, coinciding with the AHK Group’s strategic acquisition of Grinding Solutions Limited (GSL). This milestone not only reflects a decade of steady growth and operational excellence in Namibia but also signals a new chapter of expanded capability. GSL’s globally respected expertise in mineral processing and metallurgical consultancy will significantly enhance AHK Namibia’s service offering, particularly in metallurgical test work design, process optimisation, and advanced analytical techniques. The synergy between AHK Namibia’s established presence in the country and GSL’s technical depth positions the company to deliver even greater value to its clients and reinforces its commitment to supporting the evolving needs of the mining industry in Namibia.
Speaking on the anniversary, Moses Pius, Country Manager for AHK Namibia, said:
“This milestone reflects our dedication to quality and the enduring trust of our clients. Over the years, we’ve developed local expertise, strengthened our capacity, and supported trade operations vital to Namibia’s economic growth. We’re incredibly proud of our role in upholding compliance, accuracy, and consistency in the mining and agricultural sectors.”
Maxime Francois, Regional General Manager for AHK Africa & Middle East, added:
“AHK Namibia’s growth is a testament to our commitment to operational excellence and local engagement. By providing world-class inspection and testing services, we help our clients manage risk and maintain quality at every stage of the supply chain. We look forward to continued success in Namibia and further regional expansion.”
AHK Namibia remains committed to investing in people, technology and infrastructure to support long-term client success and contribute to Namibia’s continued growth as a trusted exporter.
