5 Plus Ltd was started more than a decade ago by its founder and Chairman, Mr Mukesh Thakwani, gradually emerging to be a cynosure for African steel owing to its highquality steel and finished products. As a supplier, the Company gives priority to the onus of ensuring quality as well as the security of supply and its integrated supply chain helps the Company maintain a high standard of product quality and service delivery. This in turn reduces the potential need for rework, increases reliability of service and saves its customers valuable time and money.

The Company is renowned for excellent service across the industry

“We offer the full range of system and custom-designed windows and curtain walling, incorporating full thermal breaks, drainage and the ‘rain screen’ principle of pressure equalisation. Finishing of aluminium is available in anodising and polyester powder coating,” the Company notes in reference to one of its core products – aluminium stick curtain walls (both conventionally and structurally glazed). “Then, with our sliding and casement windows and doors, we can manufacture in many different styles and designs, and can combine top hung, side hung and fixed light configurations.” The Company’s renowned aluminium composite panels utilise the expertise of Alubond U.S.A whose expertise in the area has reached as many as 90 different countries. Across handrails and glass balustrades though, West Africa’s provider is showing the way: “We specialise in the manufacture,

supply and distribution of stainless steel products; specifically, railings, balustrades and staircases, as well as the accessories of these products. “We are Africa’s strongest, quickest, safest, easiest and most affordable supplier [in this sector].” The same market-leading status has been established in the skylight domain too, epitomising the Company’s commitment to advanced technologies, modern industry trends, and operational excellence.

www.b5plus.com The Company continues: “Alubond West Africa (AWA) has provided quality and innovative daylighting solutions for more than 50 years. From an initial manufacturer of domed skylights, AWA has grown into Africa’s largest supplier and installer of 5-star energy rated skylights, custom skylights and glazing systems etc. “Alubond West Africa can [also] supply glass and fittings packages for toughened door assemblies, sliding doors, facades and shopfronts, spider wall systems, point fixings or stainlesssteel stand-offs, balustrading, pool gates, fences and shower screen enclosures.”

Services, Global reach, directed locally

On the services front, skylights and aluminium glazing once again dominates the day-to-day remit of Alubond in West Africa, but it has been a concerted ambition of the Company to diversify as much as possible, while

also introducing a host of value-add services to bridge the gap between provider and customer even more. To this end, the Company has focused heavily on its approach to supply and installation from a practical standpoint but also on tech optimisation and the more personable elements of business such as sales and contract development. The Company explains: “Our hi-tech and sophisticated infrastructure is another strength that has helped us in shaping our business strategies wisely and more efficiently. “We have been able to establish a network with our clients through our ethical business policies and customercentred approach. It has helped us in offering a product of each client’s desire.” Once again, having a partner list with the reputation of AluK Group, Guardian InGlass, American Building Technologies, Dorma, Würth Group and Alubond U.S.A goes a long way in

affirming such customer satisfaction, and can be evidenced through the portfolio that Alubond GAF now possesses in West Africa. Domestically in Ghana, high-profile completed projects include Atlantic Tower, Suncity Investments Ltd, TEMA Development Corporation, The Rhombus, Earlbeam, Ridge Hospital, Sales Exchange Centre, A-Lang, Iris Boutique Apartment, Dr. Gogo, Sal Consult, Mantrac, Air Force and Polo View. Meanwhile, the Company is also beginning to realise its wider regional potential via initial examples for ADB Bank and Farah Poly Clinique in Côte d’Ivoire; alluding to a promising future still to come. “Your trust is our foundation to build,” the Company concludes, and “Alubond Global Architectural Facades will continue to design, fabricate and install state-of-the-art facades throughout the West African region.”
