Acacia-Composites Manufacturing, Africa’s only producer of Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) decking, cladding and battens, has signed a distribution agreement with Halsted Builders Express Zimbabwe, the leading construction and building supply company in Zimbabwe.
The partnership follows an introduction to Acacia-Composites Manufacturing’s products at WoodEX for Africa in Johannesburg earlier this year.
During a visit to the Windhoek manufacturing plant, Halsted chief executive officer Stuart Knight was impressed by the quality of Acacia’s products.
As a result, the two companies agreed to bring Acacia’s WPC decking to the Zimbabwean market.
The order of high-performance decking marks a key step in Acacia’s regional expansion.
“This partnership is an exciting step in our SADC growth,” said Eike Bolm, business manager at Acacia-Composites Manufacturing.
“We are proud to bring Namibian-made WPC products to Zimbabwe through a trusted name like Halsted.”
Knight said the products meet growing customer demand for sustainable and long-lasting materials.
“WPC decking is exactly what our customers are asking for: durable, eco-conscious, and maintenance-free. Acacia-Composites Manufacturing is ahead of the curve in this space, and we’re proud to launch their range in Zimbabwe.”
The exclusive partnership covers the Zimbabwean market and includes joint marketing efforts to support a nationwide rollout and build brand awareness.
Acacia-Composites Manufacturing’s WPC range is designed to withstand Africa’s toughest climates.
It combines modern design with sustainability by using reclaimed intruder bush, premium polymer, and additives from Germany.
Based in Windhoek, the company is backed by over 20 years of industry experience and German engineering expertise.
Halsted Builders Express focuses on quality products, community development, and supporting the country’s growth, operating for over 75 years and running 13 branches across Zimbabwe.
This shared commitment to sustainability and excellence forms the foundation of the new partnership.
