Who We Are

A one-stop mining partner, built over three decades.

Founded in 1996 by Mr. N.S. (Shepherd) Chawira at the heart of Zimbabwe's mining industry, Shepco has grown from a small supplier of consumables and spares into a fully integrated engineering powerhouse — with a Fabrication Shop, Machine Shop and Fitting Shop under one roof, and over 150 employees serving mining, agro-processing, construction and transport sectors nationwide.

We are founded on trust, honesty, integrity, innovation and servant leadership — principles that still drive every order we fill.

Built for
the way you order.

Stock Depth

High-turnover lines held on our shelves, not on backorder, so urgent site requirements don't wait on a container.

Technical Know-How

Three departments — Fabrication, Machine and Fitting — mean specs are checked by people who build the parts, not just sell them.

Nationwide Delivery

Three regional offices — Bulawayo, Harare and Mutare — put fleet delivery within reach of sites across Zimbabwe.

Quality Assured

Rollers and idler frames manufactured to SABS and CEMA international standards, with legacy designs supported too.

Warehouse shelves stocked with supplies
