Business developed well over the years which led to a merger in 1976 with three other major tile manufacturers to form Coverland Roof Tiles, specialising in concrete roof tile production. Another key acquisition in 2007, of the Kulu Group, made us the leading concrete tile producer in South Africa. By 2017, as part of the Braas Monier Building Group, the business was acquired by Standard Industries, and combined with Icopal to form BMI Group.
