Alutrade

What Alutrade does

Alutrade Limited is a Ghana-based, family-owned glass and aluminium fabrication company founded in 1994 that supplies architectural aluminium and glass products and installation services across West Africa. The company distributes aluminium profiles (including Schüco-branded systems), processed glass (tempered, laminated, insulated), curtain walls, façade systems, and shading products to commercial developers, contractors, and institutional clients in Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria, and Togo. Named project references include Kotoka International Airport, Accra Mall, Kumasi Mall, ADB Bank, and Lake Point Towers in Lagos.

The company operates integrated manufacturing capabilities including three glass tempering ovens (with maximum sheet size of 2400x4200mm), five laminating machines, three insulated glass unit (IGU) production lines, and an in-house powder coating facility using Jotun technology. Its proprietary R-36 lift-and-slide system is designed in-house for high-rise applications. Through its Aluprojects sub-brand, Alutrade provides end-to-end project management, design, fabrication, and installation services for curtain walls, façades, aluminium windows and doors, cladding, and shading systems.

The revenue model spans product supply (aluminium profiles, glass sheets, accessories to local fabricators) and project-based professional services (Aluprojects installation and powder coating). Distribution is direct B2B enterprise sales targeting commercial developers, contractors, and construction companies for landmark projects, supplemented by channel sales to local fabricators. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with revenue recognised per project delivered rather than on a recurring or subscription basis. The company has completed 200+ projects and 50,000+ m² of area annually over its 30+ year operating history.
