Acting Executive Director in the Ministry of International Relations and Trade, Asser Nashikaku, with his delegation, paid an official visit to the factory of Acacia Composites Manufacturers on 16 June.
Acacia Composites Business Development Manager, Eike Bolm welcomed the delegation and guided them through the company’s state-of-the-art operations, showed them the factory’s broad products range, and presented an ambitious growth roadmap.
Acacia Composites stated that the visit is part of the government’s ongoing commitment to support export-ready manufacturers and create new opportunities for Namibian innovation to reach global markets. “Born from years of relentless research and development and a vision for homegrown excellence, we deliver a premium alternative to imported composite building products. Our advanced mono-extrusion process crafts robust, homogeneous composite profiles designed for Africa’ s toughest conditions, balancing durability, consistency and superior structural integrity.”
During the tour the delegation explored Acacia Composites’ growing portfolio of standout products, consisting of double-sided decking boards available in natural African-inspired colours. “Each products is made from an innovative bled of locally sourced wood fibre, high density polyethylene (HDPE) and advanced additives like UV stabilisers, ensuring every broad and panel holds up in Africa’s most demanding climates.”
“We believe in local sourcing, by partnering with Namibian farming communities that clear encroacher bush, and we support land restoration, boosts gracing capacity, and champion for sustainable agriculture. Every batch is fully traceable and export ready and meet the stringent standards of intentional markets,” said Bolm.
Looking to the future the company revealed plans to expand production in step with growing demand. With facility upgrades underway, they are gearing up for round-the-clock operations and greater extrusion capacity to meet the needs of both local and international clients.
Bolm said they are proud to show the world what can be achieved when Namibian innovation, world-class engineering and sustainable resources come together. “As demand for quality composite products rises, we are ready to scale up and cement Namibia’s place as a powerhouse in regional and international manufacturing.”
