Roofings Group, a prominent player in Uganda's manufacturing industry, is marking a significant milestone by celebrating 30 years of partnership with the Uganda Manufacturers Association (UMA).

This dual anniversary recognizes three decades of unwavering commitment to the growth of Uganda's industrial and manufacturing sectors.

Roofings Group is the largest manufacturer of steel and plastic construction materials in East Africa, providing a wide range of high-quality products such as galvanized steel, color-coated sheets, and polypipes.

Speaking on the occasion, Stuart Jason Mwesigwa, Corporate Affairs Manager at Roofings Group, reflected on the company's journey with UMA.

"We are proud to be among the pioneer members who have walked this journey with UMA for the last 30 years. Our Chairman and founder, Dr Sikander Lalani, was among the founding members of the Uganda Manufacturers Association. Our shared vision for Uganda's economic growth through industrialization is reflected in the work we do every day - supplying quality steel products, supporting local businesses, and fostering sustainable development," Mwesigwa noted.

Over the years, Roofings Group has evolved into East Africa's largest producer of premium steel and plastic construction materials, with a diverse product portfolio that caters to the construction, infrastructure, and manufacturing industries.

The company's state-of-the-art facilities, including Roofings Polypipes and Roofings Rolling Mills, have established Roofings as the largest manufacturer of galvanized and pre-painted steel products in the region.
