of difference.
For more than five decades, Safal Group has shaped Africa's built environment — engineering roofs, steel and homes with rigour, care and a promise of quality that endures.
The Safal Group
A pan-African industrial family with one shared purpose.
From the pioneering roofing lines of Mabati Rolling Mills in Kenya to the advanced steel coating facilities of Safal Steel in South Africa, our eight companies operate independently — but share a single commitment to ethics, safety, quality, and community.
Every product carries our signature promise: enduring quality, environmental responsibility, and a genuine contribution to the millions of lives touched by what we make.
