African Supplies Ltd.

When African Supplies Ltd. began in 2000, our aim was to find strong distribution channels for the supply of quality building materials in Africa. We were established to bring AHI Roofing's Decra and Gerard brands to market in Africa. Today, Africa is AHI Roofing's largest and fastest growing region, contributing to over 33% of global sales. To build and sustain a leadership position across African markets, it's important that we measure ourselves by the value that we add in the supply chain. Today, Africa is AHI Roofing's largest and fastest growing region, contributing to over 33% of global sales. Such growth has not been achieved easily and many lessons have been learnt along the way. Some have become key parts of the way ASL do business; ‘The ASL Way'. Our overriding mantra is to respect the culture of our clients and work in alignment with African partners; notimposing other systems or methods, but by complementing existing working practices. Our role is to add value to the channel, strategic planning, training and marketing, all with a unique blend of local and international considerations.
