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. 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.
The ASL Plumbing range consists of fresh water hot and cold plumbing systems, plus rainwater, waste, soil and underground drainage systems. Initially developed for the Nigerian market to meet a need for a reliable plumbing system, ASL introduced Polypropylene systems from IPS, becoming a nationally recognised brand within three years. In 2014 ASL became Africa representatives for Polypipe PLC's plumbing products. We are now introducing their push-fit plumbing systems into sub-Saharan markets supplied under the FlowPlumb brand.
African Supplies Ltd. began 15 years ago in partnership with New Zealand's AHI Roofing Ltd, promoting their Decra and Gerard brands. This remains the largest part of our business. AHI Roofing Ltd. are the world's original and largest manufacturer of stone coated steel roof tiles. In 2011 due to market demands from Africa, ASL worked with AHI to develop a new tile aimed specifically at Developers. Launched in October of the same year, the Fortiza brand has quickly established a strong market presence.
ASL's unique position in the sub-Saharan Construction Sector places us in an ideal position to bring together local and international expertise, investment, products and finance to support residential construction projects across the region. Committed to improving quality in African construction, ASL are partnering with system manufacturers to enable us to provide options for 'fast build' dry construction across a range of building types.
