ALAF Limited Tanzania

The company was established in October 1960 with an initial objective

of developing the ‘Aluminium and Steel Industrial Complex’ in

Tanzania. Since then, ALAF (formerly called Aluminium Africa Limited)

has established itself as a leading producer of steel roofing and related

products in the country.

In its endeavor to provide world class roofing products, ALAF Limited

graduated to using Aluminium-Zinc steel coating technology in 2010,

thus manufacturing roof sheeting that offers a much longer service life

than traditional zinc coated (so called “galvanized”) steel.

ALAF was also the first company to start a steel tube mill In Tanzania (in

1971), the first company to introduce customized Z-Purlins (in 2013)

and the first company to introduce deformed bars in customized sizes

(in 2012).

Today ALAF offers a wide range of Roofing products, Pipes & Hollow

sections, Aluminium-Zinc coated steel coil, Cold-rolled products,

Structural Steel and Engineering products.

ALAF Limited also offers pre-painted roofing sheets made from coils

sourced from our sister company Safal Steel in South Africa. These

coils are produced in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and are

one of the finest available anywhere in the world.

ALAF is committed to delivering value for money to its customers, by

offering not just products, but roofing and building solutions that carry

a quality assurance from ALAF for complete peace of mind.

ALAF Limited is the first and the only company in its category in Tanzania

to be accredited with ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001:2005 based on

its quality standards and commitment towards the environment. Its
