By putting health and safety at the core of its operations, AfriSam reached a major safety milestone in October 2024 and has in recent years received multiple acknowledgments for its safety performance.

Located right at the doorstep of one of the largest road infrastructure projects in South Africa at the moment, AfriSam Coedmore is enjoying a good run of fortune.
