Joint ventures

Swissco is involved in a joint venture with colortech in the marketing and fabrication of roofs based on the newly introduced ceramic roof tiles in Zambia by Colortech for Rayal Roof and Floor Tiles of south Africa. The ceramic roof tiles are in direct competition with the standard concrete roof tiles but are much lighter in weight, are stronger tiles and they do not fade like other tiles would due to the ceramic glaze finish.

We are also a certified applicator of Abe South Africa products.
