Alfab, (Aluminium Fabrication) is the value addition arm of Almin Metal industries. Housed
in Almin’s premises at Corner Dagenham/Willowvale road, Alfab combines
the three subdivisions of Altrans, Further Fab and Alglass into one
fabrication/manufacturing concern. LOCAL MARKET Cut to length and DIY
The
small operator has always had a problem with purchase of full lengths
+5m when all that he requires is a part length. Cut-to-Length will be
incorporated from which customers can get materials in sizes of their
choice as opposed to the traditional minimum-one-full-length-order. Locally,
value addition will incorporate provision of finished products,
off-the-shelf from our retail outlets, for the fabricators to install.
Return of old products The bus operators indicated that there is need for supply of aluminium plates for the coach builders.
New products Almin
Healthcare Services has also been hatched in which we develop and
supply the health industry with such requirements as wheel chairs and
elbow crutches. The two are already in their advanced design stages.
Import substitution The
locally designed products mentioned above will alleviate the forex
shortage dogging the nation and Almin has taken the challenge from the
Ministry of Industry for companies to venture on import substitution.
Hardware Supplies We also provide accessories/hardware supplies.
EXPORTS Outside Zimbabwe, our value added products includes supply and fix contracts.
