Group Overview

About us

Much Asphalt started its journey in 1965 with the opening of an asphalt production facility in Cape Town. Today we own and operate 19 plants in South Africa, Namibia and Mozambique, each with its own quality control laboratory.

Two more plants, serving the Eastern Cape Province from East London and Mthatha, are operated by East Coast Asphalt, in which Much Asphalt is the majority shareholder.
