Shenxin

What Shenxin does

Shenxin Investments is a private, founder-led civil construction and contract mining company headquartered in Harare, Zimbabwe, founded in July 2019. It delivers integrated infrastructure and mining support services to the Government of Zimbabwe (national and provincial ministries, including the Ministry of Transport) and to private mining operators such as Freda Rebecca Gold Mine and Alaska Copper Queen Mine, with a secondary private-developer channel. The firm markets a portfolio of 11 service lines spanning the full project lifecycle: earthworks, piling and geotechnical services, an in-house asphalt plant (150 tons/day capacity), a mobile crushing plant, road surfacing, building works, electro-mechanical installations (solar PV, substations, cable laying), pretensioned and precast concrete products, land developments, contract mining (drilling, blasting, load and haul for gold, lithium, chrome, coal), and plant hire with operators.

Revenue is generated through project-based civil construction contracts, contract mining engagements, equipment hire (daily, weekly, or project-based), and material supply (asphalt, coated aggregates, bitumen emulsion, precast units) produced from owned facilities. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales: direct engagement with government ministries via CIFOZ Category A tendering and direct negotiation with mining operators and private developers. The company holds CIFOZ Category A accreditation alongside ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications, and markets a fleet of dozers, excavators, tipper trucks, graders, compactors, front-end loaders, water bowsers, rollers, blast hole drills, articulated dump trucks, hydraulic piling rigs, and rotary drills. Headcount is stated at 450+ staff recruited from local communities; one source separately lists 79 employees, indicating possible inconsistency in the data.
