Operational since 1990, Marlyn Chemicals has been key to the supply and service of chemicals to the mining and water treatment industries in South Africa. Marlyn was acquired in July 2023 by Letsema Holdings, a diversified investment holding company. As a result, Marlyn is now a Level 1, 100% black owned, 42.7% black female owned, and 59.8% black youth owned entity.
Our original territory has since expanded to servicing these industries in South Africa as well as other Southern African countries such as Malawi, Eswatini, DRC, Lesotho, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Tanzania. Our product range has expanded over the years from gold mining focused products (Sodium Cyanide, Activated Carbon, and Flocculants), into a wider area focused on other mining commodities such as Chrome, Platinum, Vanadium, Zinc and Diamond mining.
Marlyn’s value to the market is derived from our established track record and ongoing dedication to exceeding client expectations by maintaining consistent product quality and improving product effectiveness through our technical expertise and support. Marlyn is a trusted partner in the gold mining industry with 30 years’ experience with extensive knowledge of the speciality chemicals and reagents industry.
Marlyn has its own established laboratory and offers technical product support, quality assurance and in-field technical backup and trouble shooting. The laboratory can perform a range of tests including pH, turbidity, weight, density, particle size distribution, abrasion along with compositional elemental analysis via ED-XRF, as well as on-site flocculant optimisation.
