Africote originated in 1990 as Plastertech (PTY) LTD and was then responsible for the supply of 340 000m2 of internal and external cementitious colourful wall coatings used on the African Games Village, near Alexander Township in Johannesburg. It has also supplied cementitious coatings for various RDP housing projects throughout South Africa and also supplied finishing plaster to Monte Casino and the Liberty Life Building in Eastgate Office park, amongst many other prestigious projects. In about 2001 the company went through a second change of ownership and the trade name Africote was born, but in October 2004 it was taken over by a company passionate and creative with cement products and coatings, namely Union Tiles. The Union Tile Group has placed a highly motivated and experienced management team together and formed International Natural Stone (PTY) LTD trading as Africote. Africote has grown extensively since its take over and appointment of experienced technical staff, the living assets of any successful business, as well as the existing range of coatings and floor and wall plasters and a host of new and exciting natural stone tiles have been added to its product range. The company distributes its exciting range of paint and tile décor products through its 42 national “licensed distributors” and any interested investors both within South Africa or in neighbouring states, are invited to discuss an exclusive distribution opportunity in your area, with our factory. The manufactured products include a comprehensive range of acrylic interior and exterior paints, cementitious wall coatings and floor screeds and decorative plasters. Décor type coatings such as rustand copper enducing paints and milk paints to achieve an aged effect on wooden furniture or timber flooring are also manufactured. A wonderful range of “Natural Stone Tiles” has been added to Africote’s range of coatings and plasters since our take over in 2004. The range of sandstone, slate, travertine and quartzite tiles and numerous other tile and mosaic products, from various locations throughout the world, have made the Africote product offering a delight to any architect, interior designer and home improver, due to the amazing finishes we have to offer, through the companies expertise gained over the years.
