COVER FEATURE AfriSam
AfriSam’ s e-experience platform, ClickToGo, is a first of its kind in the industry.
AfriSam has a fully staffed contact centre of trained and experienced people.
Supporting major projects with expertise
AfriSam’ s commitment to quality extends to large-scale civil engineering and public infrastructure projects. With nearly a century of experience in research, testing, and innovation, the company’ s brand is synonymous with technical excellence. Its adherence to global and local standards further reinforces this reputation.
“ Adding to the confidence that we can give customers in their journey with us are our offerings across the range of construction materials they need,” notes Tomes.“ This is not just about the convenience of sourcing from a single reliable supplier, but we also bring high-value expertise about how these materials interact with each other for the best results.”
The company also provides specialised support through its Centre for Product Excellence, where experts offer technical advice, concrete mix designs, and material compatibility insights.
Building skills and supporting nation-building
AfriSam’ s impact extends beyond its customers to benefit the broader economy. The company actively supports industry bodies and educational institutions, sponsoring students to become the next generation of engineers and technologists. This investment in skills development reflects AfriSam’ s commitment to fostering economic growth and innovation.
In addition, the company participates in transformative initiatives such as the Youth Employment Service( YES) programme, recently sponsoring 40 candidates to gain work experience. This aligns with its broader mission of promoting inclusive development and job creation, essential in a country grappling with high unemployment rates.
AfriSam shares its knowledge through training.
Commitment to local development and sustainability
As a South African cement producer, AfriSam shoulders unique responsibilities compared to importers. While cement producers find solutions with government to ensure a level playing field for international trade, the company continues to invest in transformative initiatives that empower communities and reduce impacts on the environment.
“ This is all part of our value proposition to customers,” says Tomes.“ It starts with listening to the needs, but goes much further – to help them achieve their dreams.” ■
