Our Story
Our Story
The beginning!
With an initial investment of US$ 2 million in 1995, a workforce of 60 people, and 3,000 square meters of covered area, Dr. Lalani envisioned building something he could take pride in - a contribution to his beloved country. Recognizing the need for quality construction materials that would withstand the test of time, his dream centered around strengthening the nation.
Aligned with this vision, Dr. Lalani also prioritized community and sustainable development. This ethos has remained the DNA of Roofings Group’s operations as we have grown together over the years. A pivotal moment in this journey was the strategic equity partnership with Japan’s YOGADAWA STEEL, whose global expertise and commitment to excellence helped raise our quality capabilities and reinforce our position as a leader in the region.
Today, with over US$ 500 million in investment, a team of over 2,000 employees, and 100,000+ square meters of covered area, the dream still thrives – now strengthened by international collaborations and shared values.

The Story of One Thousand Elephants
The Elephant Brand
If one elephant can lift a rock, envision the possibilities when a thousand elephants unite.
Our mission is clear: to cultivate a legacy of unquestionable quality in construction materials for the next thousand years. Driven by a deep commitment to fortify, empower, and uplift the communities within and around us, together, we are building a foundation that will contribute to a robust and sustainable Africa.
At the core of our success lies the essence of Ubuntu – the spirit of togetherness. Through purposeful partnerships, we harness collective wisdom, fostering a shared vision for progress. This journey is not merely ours; it is one that we embark on hand in hand with you. As we march forward, a thousand elephants strong, we forge a path that safeguards our collective interests and ensures prosperity for generations to come.
Let us draw inspiration from the mighty strength of these elephants, knowing that together, we possess the power to accomplish great feats. With unwavering determination, we will shape a stronger, more sustainable Africa.
