Introduction
Established in 1934 as Anglo Alpha Cement Ltd, AfriSam has positioned itself as one of the most widely spread cement groups in the southern African region. With six cement production facilities, nine cement depots, 16 quarries and aggregate operations, 40 readymix concrete plants and a dedicated Slagment plant, the company is well-equipped to meet customer requirements at any given time. The name ‘AfriSam’ reflects the African heritage of the brand and its sub-Saharan areas of operation, as well as its involvement in cement. AfriSam’s vision – ‘to shape Africa and build a better society by being the best building materials company in the world’ – is supported by its three core values: People, Planet and Performance.
‘We believe in teamwork’
‘At AfriSam, we believe in teamwork. As a runner and active club member, I know how important that is. We work hard to ensure that our products consistently meet the highest quality standards, with strict technical process controls, and regular product testing. We’re ahead of the pack when it comes to developing new products for specific applications. What really counts in the long run is following the progress of these projects through to successful completion and knowing that AfriSam is part of the team.’
