AML is a proudly South African building materials distribution company committed to exclusively supplying locally manufactured products
Building Excellence, Powered Locally
AML is a proudly South African building materials distribution company committed to exclusively supplying locally manufactured products. With a vision rooted in supporting local industry, AML is poised to become the largest independent distributor of locally sourced building materials in the country.
Leading in Cement Distribution
At the core of AML’s operations is the exclusive distribution of Afrisam cement across KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) and the Western Cape. Over the past decade, the company has experienced extraordinary growth in both business operations and sales, solidifying its position as the second-largest locally sold cement brand in KZN.
Roofing and Beyond
AML is the nation’s largest independent distributor of concrete roofing materials, proudly representing Marley Roofing products on an exclusive basis. The company’s portfolio extends to the distribution of other high-quality building materials, including:
• Corobrik: Renowned for premium clay brick solutions.
• Etex Internal Systems: Offering a full range of partition and ceiling boards.
• Steel Reinforcing: Providing robust solutions for construction projects.
• Water Tanks: Essential for water storage needs.
All products are supported by AML’s unmatched local expertise, professional advice, and exceptional technical support, ensuring customers receive only the best.
Transport Fleet – Built for Growth
To meet the demands of its expanding operations, AML operates a state-of-the-art fleet of 57 long- distance superlink trucks, featuring industry-leading Mercedes, Volvo, and Scania vehicles. This fleet, already a cornerstone of AML’s efficient logistics, is set to double in the upcoming year, ensuring even greater service capacity.
Expanding into Aggregates and Readymix
AML’s recent acquisition of Afrisam SA’s Aggregates and Readymix operations in Newcastle and Ladysmith marks a significant milestone.
• AML Aggregates Newcastle: This quarry, the only established one in the area, boasts a production capacity of 30,000 tons per month across a wide range of aggregate materials. With over 50 years of operational excellence, the Newcastle quarry is celebrated as one of the best and most efficient in South Africa. Fully compliant with DMRE regulations and SABS standards, its materials are graded monthly by Soilco, with up-to-date grading sheets readily available for customers. AML prides itself on delivering consistent, high-quality supply to meet the demanding schedules of the construction industry.
• AML Readymix Newcastle: Following a seamless transition from Afrisam, AML Readymix continues to operate with the same experienced staff and unwavering commitment to quality. The batching plant produces concrete of the highest standards, with mix designs rigorously monitored internally and externally. Materials are tested daily to ensure optimal performance in heat, moisture, slump management, and strength. Backed by a dedicated in-house testing lab and technical team, AML Readymix guarantees that its customers receive reliable, superior products. Delivery is managed by a modern fleet of four new FAW trucks, ensuring timely service.
