Africa’s construction and materials industry is growing rapidly given the increasing investment in real estate and infrastructure sectors. Constant demand for residential and commercial housing is offering investors the potential to generate attractive returns.
One company that has benefited from the growth is LONGSPAN GUTTERS, a company that distributes seamless gutter roll-forming machines in South Africa and several other African countries, and also manufactures related products.
With 29 years of experience in the gutter business, LONGSPAN GUTTERS has made a substantial investment to develop and manufacture world-class products. Its proven track record in the domestic and industrial market it caters to has made the company a market leader in the field.
The company is an authorised distributor of the IRON MAN brand of seamless
gutter roll-forming machines which are available in various standard specifications commonly known as the “O.G. profile”, and are easily transported on a trailer, or a light delivery vehicle, thus maintaining a relatively low start-up cost.
The group now plans to further expand its products and services in Africa, and is offering an exciting opportunity to start a seamless gutter business.
The business opportunity
LONGSPAN GUTTERS is looking to sell seamless gutter roll-forming machines to potential buyers who are interested in establishing a similar business. The company will guide the interested party through the set-up process and also offer products needed to successfully run the business.
“This is a great business to get into, particularly at this time when the construction industry in many countries is experiencing huge growth. The only qualification one needs to be
successful is self-motivation,” says chief executive Gus Behn.
The gutter roll-forming machine is typically housed in a trailer or light delivery vehicle which effectively becomes a mobile factory unit to roll-form gutters on site, thus making the process fast and efficient.
The IRONMAN seamless gutter roll-forming machines are available in the following standard options;
1. 5” IRONMAN – producing a Domestic 125mm O.G. gutter profile
2. 6” IRONMAN – producing a Industrial 150mm O.G. gutter profile
3. 5/6” IRONMAN COMBO – producing both a Domestic 125mm O.G. and Industrial 150mm O.G. gutter profile.
All new gutter roll-forming machines are sold with a 2-year limited factory
warranty
