Who we are

Fumati Group · Fumati Engineers

Fumati Engineers (Fumati Group t/a Fumati Engineering) is a multi-award-winning engineering company based in Waterfalls, Harare, specialising in structural engineering, mechanical engineering, steel fabrication, plant fitting, and equipment production and services.

Founded by Mr. Tinashe Changweya, Fumati has grown from a determined local team into one of Zimbabwe's most recognisable engineering brands, delivering landmark projects — from The Heart Stadium to bridges, large-span roofs and multi-storey steel frames — with precision and pride.

We manufacture mining equipment, agricultural tools, business equipment, steel furniture, door and window frames, sliding gates and tank stands, and we run a hardware shop along Simon Mazorodze Road, Harare. One accountable team takes every job from drawing board to handover.
