Company Announcement - As a leading construction chemicals specialist, the Chryso Southern Africa Group continues to implement plans that will see customers in Africa having direct and immediate access to both the entire product range as well as a team of technical product specialists. An example of this is the establishment of a subsidiary company, known as Chryso Eastern Africa, in Nairobi, Kenya. The Chryso Southern Africa Group has established a distributor network and distribution outlets across the African continent and Indian Ocean Islands for its market leading concrete and cement admixtures and ancillary products.

Chryso South Africa supplies a vast range of products to the readymix, precast, mining, cement and construction industries that are produced at three of its manufacturing facilities operating in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. The company is also the exclusive distributor of Lanxess pigments for the construction industry in South Africa. With the capability to service roughly 80% of the African continent, Chryso products are readily available and can be transported to customers using the most appropriate mode of transport, road, air or sea freight.

Chryso Southern Africa has amassed an extensive reference base of projects, with product supplied into Africa for more than 15 years, through close partnerships with its customers. This is achieved through the company’s ability to assess each project on its own merit and then recommend a fit-for-application solution that takes into account all aspects such as climatic conditions, raw materials (including aggregates and cement), the time allocated for the project schedule and any other relevant factors that may affect the timeous completion of the contract.

In addition to its own experienced technical team Chryso Southern Africa also has access to extensive global research and development facilities. An in-house laboratory in Johannesburg, where specialised mix designs are tested to determine the most appropriate solution for each project, is complemented by alliances with a number of concrete laboratories in various African countries. Chryso Southern Africa is becoming the Chryso springboard into the African continent and Bauma will provide the company with the opportunity to showcase its capabilities and extensive range products to the African market.
