On a perfect day at the ERPM Golf Course in Boksburg, Asahi Africa proudly joined the Pumps & Valves Africa Golf Day, an event that brought together a vibrant mix of industrial players from engineering shops and resellers to crane specialists and beyond. The atmosphere was charged with energy and filled with camaraderie, competition, and countless opportunities to connect.
Our team set up an inviting stand on Hole 6, a spot that offered a compelling view of the entire course. This hole was no ordinary challenge. Players teed off from a box flanked by tall trees, with a small watering hole adding to the complexity. The fairway opened into a wide expanse of lush grass, but the green lay off to the left, demanding precision and strategy to shoot past the tree line. It was a test of skill that kept everyone engaged and talking.
The day kicked off with a shotgun start, ensuring that every hole was alive with activity from the get-go. The weather couldn’t have been better with clear skies and a gentle breezes that set the tone for a memorable experience. The event more than golf; it was an opportunity to forge new relationships. Asahi Africa seized the opportunity to make new connections and strengthen existing relationships, reinforcing our commitment to collaboration within the industrial sector.
Two of our own took to the greens: our Director - Hideyuki Kanai and External Sales Engineer - Jared Snyman. Their presence highlighted our hands-on approach and passion for engaging with the industry beyond the boardroom. The day concluded with a prize-giving dinner at the clubhouse, where stories were shared, achievements celebrated, and partnerships deepened.
From the scenic views to the vibrant networking moments, the Pumps & Valves Africa Golf Day was an event to remember. We extend our gratitude to the organizers for creating such a dynamic platform for industry players to connect and collaborate.
Asahi Africa participated in the Impala Refineries Golf Club - Suppliers Charity day that took place at the State Mines Country Club. The day was filled with golf, networking and supporting a great cause. All proceeds from the day were donated to the Vita Nova Center, a residential facility in Springs catering for persons with Cerebral Palsy, Downe Syndrome, Autism and physical and mental challenges.
Asahi Africa was proud to support such a noble cause and thanks to the support from all contributors, the Impala Refineries Golf Club successfully raised R123 050, which had been donated to Vita Nova. The funds will make a meaningful difference in sustaining the important work Vita Nova does in supporting individuals living with disabilities.
Thank you to Impala Platinum for the opportunity to contribute to this cause and thank you to our valued customers for their generosity and partnership during this meaningful event. We look forward to participating and contributing again in the future to make a lasting impact within our communities.
Asahi Africa proudly participated in this year’s IFAT Africa Expo, held at the Gallagher Convention Center in Johannesburg, South Africa — a premier trade fair for water, sewage, waste, and recycling. The event brought together industry leaders, innovators, and stakeholders from across the continent and beyond, all committed to advancing sustainable environmental technologies.
This year, Asahi Africa co-exhibited alongside our parent and sister companies, Asahi Yukizai Asahi Kasei and Microza, forming a dynamic and collaborative presence that highlighted the strength and synergy of the Asahi Group. The stand had representatives from Japan, Dubai, and South Africa, reflecting the global reach and unified vision of the group in tackling environmental challenges through advanced solutions.
Throughout the expo, the Asahi team engaged in meaningful discussions with leaders, engineers, and environmental consultants. Topics ranged from membrane filtration technologies and chemical-resistant piping systems to innovative water treatment solutions tailored for African infrastructure needs. These interactions not only showcased the technical expertise of the group but also opened doors for future collaborations and partnerships across the region.
The IFAT Africa platform proved invaluable for networking, knowledge exchange, and reinforcing Asahi Africa’s commitment to sustainable development. The team was inspired by the enthusiasm of attendees and the shared drive toward cleaner, more efficient environmental practices.
Asahi Africa extends its gratitude to all who visited the stand and looks forward to continuing the conversations sparked at IFAT Africa — driving innovation and impact across the continent.
The Electra Mining Africa Expo 2024 is coming to a close later today, but we will not forget the great experience we had here. ASAHI African is gaining momentum in the African market, and we are definitely making a name for ourselves! Thank you to all those who took the time to visit our stand, we hope to see you again soon!
