    Nigerite unveils Klassik Ceil

    As part of its drive to sustain the new vision of being the number one innovative building components solutions, while also remaining the market leader, Nigerite has unveiled a new product called, four feet by four feet Klassik Ceil.

    The product was unveiled to distributors, carpenters and customers in Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ilorin and other parts of the Southwest. This happened a few months after the launch of Nigerite Prestige, which is already making waves in the market.

    Speaking at the event, the Marketing Director of Nigerite Limited, Toyin Gbede, an architect, said: “Nigerite will not relent in its effort to continuously aim towards modernisation without compromising on quality”, adding: “The new product came into being as a result of a survey, which shows that customers love three certain types of pattern and so three pattern machines were manufactured for that purpose. These gave birth to Nigerite Prestige, Klassic Ceil and another, which will be launched at a later event.”

    “Although, Klassik emerged the most loved during the survey, it was the one we found most challenging in terms of coming up with the pattern machine. It is the first ceiling product of that size and it comes in white and grey. It can also be combined with prestige and plain,” Gbede said.

    He assured distributors that plans are underway to air radio commercials and programmes, introducing the new products to people in order to drive sales. The representative of Deemarks Limited, Nigerite distributor of over 40 years, Mr. Akeem Tijani, said Nigerite has been number one in terms of bringing out innovative products despite the harsh market environment.

    He added: “They are very good at what they do and that is why they are the best in the market. For us at Deemak, the new Klasssic ceiling is one product that will definitely fly because of its sleek design and quality.”

    Another Nigerite distributor of 34 years, the Chief Executive Officer of Joyinola Nigeria Limited, Mrs. Victoria Olagbaju, said Nigerite Prestige has been a game changer in the market and the arrival of Klassik Ceiling will go a step further to seal Nigerite’s position as the number one for building solution. “The design is superb and I don’t see any reason why it will not break even in the market,” she said.

    At a similar event, the Professional Carpenters and Furniture Makers Association of Lagos State (PCFA) applauded Nigerite’s innovation in the production of Klassik ceil into the building solution market. Speaking through its president, Comrade Abimbola Aluko, the association said the formulation behind the production of the new product has confirmed its superiority over other products, adding that members of the association would do their utmost to make sure that they continue to support Nigerite in its efforts to improve the built industry.

    According to him, “we want the company to maintain the high standards it is known for, and make sure that the management intensifies efforts to maintain its leadership position in the industry.”

  • Nigerite achieves 95% waste recycling

    NIGERITE Nigeria Limited, a building material company, has achieved 95 percent of dry waste recycling in conjunction with Lafarge to make clinkers for cement production.

    Its marketing director, Mr.ToyinGbede, said the firm recycles all the wet wastes internally and re-uses them in the product processes.

    The firm, he said, also recovers all effluent water (wet wastes) from its machines during production.

    Gbede said: “We filter used oil and re-use same on our production lines.

    “In 2011, we recovered 39 tons of oil, 85 tons in 2012 and now 25 tons.”

    Throwing more light on how the two firms manage solid waste, he said it is done through the differentiation of waste sorting basins for plastics, electronics, woods, iron and domestic wastes.

    On rainwater harvesting, Gbede said: “Sanitary, laundry and rain water are stored in storm water lagoon and treated before discharging into public drain.”

    According to him, in addition to the synchronisation of the diesel and gas generators to reduce carbon gas emission, other processes engaged in are in-house dust and noise monitoring laboratories.

  • Nigerite shines at forum

    Nigerite Limited, Nigeria’s premier building components solution manufacturing firm, Nigerite Limited, won two innovative awards for its building solutions at the just-concluded Nigerian Institute of Architects (NIA) Forum 2013.

    The company stood out at the forum with a demonstration of its new dry construction building solution, making its stand a must-visit for participants and visitors to the forum.

    Since the firm opened for business in Nigeria over 50 years ago, it has distinguished itself in the market with top-flight and innovative materials that are not only durable, but environment-friendly.

    Speaking at the session with the theme: ‘Innovative Building Construction in the 21st Century’, Ronald Ashkin, Technical Director, Growth and Employment in States (GEMS), canvassed a departure from wet construction which, he noted, had not been able to respond to the ever-increasing demand for housing in the country.

    “To address the housing deficit in the country, dry construction is the way to go,” said Chucks Omeife, President, Nigerian Institute of Builders (NIOB).

    According to Sam Odia, National Director, Fuller Centre for Housing, dry construction saves as much as 70 percent of time when compared to wet construction, explaining that it has unrivalled speed.

    In his presentation at the Forum, Osei Kwame Agyeman of Casa Assocaiti, a leading Architecture firm in Accra, Ghana, linked social conflict among city dwellers to the government’s inability in most West African states to properly manage available urban spaces.
