Hulamin is a South African company based in Pietermaritzburg that specialises in rolled aluminium products for precision and high technology applications. The company supplies a significant proportion of the world's ultra high-end aluminium products. It is known for being a key supplier of worked aluminium components for Tesla electric vehicles and aeronautical Wi-Fi components.[2][3]
In 2018/19 the company was negatively effected by cheaper Chinese imports into its South African market,[4] higher tariffs on its exports to the United States,[5] reduced demand from the automotive industry, and has faced criticism for high executive overheads.[6]
