Back to the roots
In April 2024, Afrimat announced the granting of all the regulatory authority approvals for the acquisition of Lafarge South Africa. In a one-on-one with Quarrying Africa, CEO Andries van Heerden highlights that the immensity of the acquisition not only lies in the fact that it is Afrimat’s largest deal to date, but also because it presents an opportunity for the company to expand its quarrying roots to support long-term diversified sustainability across the group.
