Receiving these rights enabled the company to focus on the extraction of the resources and significantly strengthened business security.Kumba has been exporting iron ore to Europe and Japan since 1976 and has established enduring relations with the most significant steel mills in these countries. These customers regard Kumba as a strategic supplier of superior iron ore that enhances their furnaces’ efficiencies. The company was also a “first mover” into China by investing in the port of Qingdao in the early 1990s. This enabled Kumba to secure its customer base in Northern China and to take full advantage of the remarkable growth in the Chinese steel industry when production quadrupled during the commodities boom of 2000 – 2008.
