In February 2003 the Alububble® business was bought from Kohler FlexPak by Khanyisa Africa Development Company (Pty) Ltd (Khanyisa). In April, 2010 the company name was changed to Africa Thermal Insulations (Pty) Ltd (ATI). ATI is a private entity who’s Shareholders form a consortium consisting of the Buildcraft Group, RMB Corvest (a company within the Rand Merchant Bank and First Rand Group) and certain key members of the Management Team.

ATI manufactures, sells, markets and distributes building insulation products throughout Southern Africa. The company operates within the stringent disciplines of the ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System. The ongoing utilisation of a state of the art Laboratory and Product Testing facility ensures that ATI continues to be a leader in technological research and development.

ATI is a Corporate Member of the Thermal Insulation Association of Southern Africa (TIASA) and a Member of the Green Building Council. The company operates at the highest level of business practices and ethical standards. We are committed to South Africa, our Customers, our Staff and our Products with Service Excellence being our Mission.

Our signature product, Alububble® originated in Europe and was first introduced into South Africa in 1986 when a purpose designed and built machine was imported from Europe. Alububble® has been produced locally since that time and the product has enjoyed the enviable position of being the de facto standard and market leader in building insulation products consisting of sealed plastic bubbles laminated to an aluminium foil throughout Southern Africa.

Alutherm® is the latest addition to our product range thereby offering a bulk thermal insulation product incorporating either a Polyester or Fibreglass blanket with an aluminium foil facing laminated to one side and an Alububble® facing on the other side.

Alububble® and Alutherm® comply with SABS 1381 Part 4 and Part 1 Standards respectively. They also carry a B1 certification to SANS 428 for Fire Performance Classification of Thermal Insulation Building Envelope Systems.

Of major benefit to our Customers is that ATI is the only Company offering Alububble® and Alutherm® products in both standard rolls and in special lengths which ensures the most efficient usage of the material. This unique selling point provides our Customers with significant cost savings associated with the reduction in waste material – i.e. off-cuts.

Our experience, training and expertise in the thermal insulation marketplace, coupled with a range of product offerings over and above those of Alububble® and Alutherm® enable us to focus on the conservation of energy within the building envelope to provide our Customers with the most effective solutions to their insulation needs.
