AfriSam is a leading supplier of construction materials in southern Africa, renowned for its superior quality cement, readymix concrete, aggregate, and slagment products.With a legacy spanning over 90 years, AfriSam has built a reputation not just for the materials it produces, but for the possibilities those materials enable- embodied in its motto: Creating Concrete Possibilities. The company operates across South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, and Eswatini, and is deeply committed to sustainable practices, community upliftment, and performance excellence.

AfriSam's legacy began in 1934 as the Anglovaal Portland Cement Company, South Africa's second cement company.

Over the decades, the company underwent several transformations, including a merger with Atlas Cement in 1937 to form Anglo Alpha, and later a rebranding to Alpha (Pty) Ltd in 1996 following a merger with Hippo Quarries and Pioneer Concrete. This merger resulted in the company being the first in South Africa to diversify its offerings into other construction materials.

After several name changes, mergers, company expansions, technological innovations, and adding a slagment business to our portfolio, the AfriSam brand was born in 2008.

The name "AfriSam" reflects its African heritage ("Afri") and the word "samente" or "disamente," meaning cement in six of South Africa's official languages.
