Growth from the start

Since its 1986 listing on the JSE Securities Exchange, they have continued to grow from strength to strength, and is now a face to the buying public with over 319 stores throughout Southern Africa. They have branches in Swaziland, Lesotho, Botswana, Namibia, Malawi, Zambia and South Africa. To give you a better perspective on their size, consider that they employ 6,238 people.

Product range

Part of the secret to their success is that they have chosen to focus their efforts on only the building sector. They have made sure that they are supplying quality products across a well-thought-out product range while doing this at competitive pricing. They have fine-tuned the products and services they offer to meet the needs of regular contractors, homebuilders & improvers to traders and farmers wanting to improve their home or business by themselves and anyone else with cash in their pocket looking for building materials of good quality.

The future is looking good. Cashbuild is steadily working on the range and quality of their products for the building and related fields to be able to be the “first thought” chosen retailer across all the countries of Southern Africa.
