The newly announced 500 square meter facility in Kicukiro, Rwanda serves as the core physical engine for the company's 50% revenue growth target.
Location Advantage: Kicukiro is a major industrial and logistics hub within Kigali, offering streamlined highway access to regional 3T mining sites and direct routes to international export channels.Throughput Capacity: Moving from field collection to a centralised 500m² footprint allows Aterian's trading subsidiary, Eastinco, to scale up physical blending, automated crushing, sorting, and inventory storage. This eliminates the bottleneck of shipping small, unblended batches.
Traceability Integration: The warehouse will be directly managed by the newly appointed local Head of Trading, D. Kayigire, an expert in regional ITSCI and OECD responsible mineral supply chains. Every bag entering the facility can be securely tagged, weighed, and verified on-site. This ensures conflict-free compliance before the material is packed into sea containers for global tech buyers
