This steel structure warehouse in Lilongwe, Malawi, was developed as a tailored solution for a client needing a practical, durable space for storage and distribution. The building uses a steel portal frame with a wide clear span and simple internal layout, making it suitable for long-term industrial and commercial use. All components were prefabricated in our manufacturing facility in China and shipped to Malawi as a complete prefab steel warehouse kit for on-site assembly.
This building located in Lilongwe, Malawi. The structure of the warehouse is a steel portal frame, the roof and wall used steel panels, and the bottom of the wall is a 2-meter high brick wall.A large awning facilitates the operation of vehicles in the loading area.
The warehouse covers approximately 4,500 m². The main structure is built from welded H-section steel columns and beams, supported by galvanized C/Z purlins. This creates a stable and reliable steel frame construction that performs well under Malawi’s seasonal weather conditions.
The facility is suitable for:
The building also allows for future expansion if the client needs additional space.
Xinguangzheng Group produces welding H-section beams & columns, truss structure and box structures used on various types of buildings. Steel structure is mainly made of steel material and is one of the main building structure types. In the world, especially in developed countries and regions, steel structure has been reasonably and widely used in the field of construction engineering. Building types include warehouse, workshop, sports hall, exhibition hall, hangar, shopping mall, farm, etc.

Malawi experiences strong winds, long periods of sunlight, and seasonal heavy rainfall. For this reason, the project uses a reinforced steel portal frame building with stable joints and high load-bearing capacity. This frame type has proven reliable in Africa for large-span industrial structures.
0.5mm color-coated steel sheets are used for both roof and wall cladding. They resist corrosion and maintain good performance in humid and hot environments. For clients with temperature-sensitive goods, insulation panels can be added to convert it into a moderate-temperature metal warehouse building.
The warehouse sits on a concrete strip foundation designed according to soil conditions. A brick wall bottom is included to shield the steel panels from ground moisture and improve the building’s overall durability.
A wide canopy is installed at the front of the warehouse. Even during the rainy season, trucks can dock and unload without delay. Forklifts can operate under cover, reducing downtime and improving workflow—especially valuable for logistics warehouse operations.
The interior has no unnecessary columns, leaving a large, open floor area. This simplifies rack arrangement and forklift movement, and allows the client to adjust the layout freely as their business evolves.

Whether for goods storage, agro-commodities, or distribution work, the space adapts well to various daily operations.
As a prefabricated steel warehouse, the structure is produced off-site with precise fabrication. Installation is straightforward and requires less labor than traditional methods, keeping both cost and construction time manageable.
Steel components and metal panels are easy to maintain, resistant to moisture and pests, and ideal for high-usage environments.
Due to the steel frame design, the warehouse can be extended later by adding new sections or extra bays without major demolition.
