Velo West Africa Group has celebrated the 10th anniversary of ITALKOL in Ghana, marking a decade of providing innovative construction and finishing solutions to the Ghanaian market.
Introduced in 2016, ITALKOL was established to provide high-performance construction materials tailored to African conditions while maintaining European manufacturing standards. Over the past ten years, the brand has become widely recognized for its tiling systems, waterproofing solutions, skimming products, industrial flooring systems, and decorative wall finishes.
Speaking during the anniversary celebration, Managing Director of Velo West Africa Group, Enkelejda Xhebexhiu, attributed the company’s growth and success to its unwavering commitment to quality, technical support, and industry training. According to her, sustainable construction requires more than quality products alone. It also depends on technical expertise, skilled workmanship, and the proper application of materials.
Throughout the years, Velo West Africa Group has collaborated closely with contractors, engineers, architects, artisans, and clients across Ghana. Through product support, professional training, live demonstrations, and on-site technical guidance, the company has contributed to improving construction standards within the industry. In 2021, the company further expanded its portfolio with the introduction of PIXEL PAINTS, a premium coatings brand offering architectural paints, decorative finishes, and waterproofing solutions specifically formulated for tropical environments.
As part of its long-term growth strategy, Velo West Africa Group also announced the upcoming introduction of Siniat Lightweight Construction Solutions in Ghana. The announcement was made during the anniversary event by Benjamin Naas, Export and Business Development Manager at Etex Building Performance. Siniat, one of Europe’s leading construction brands and part of the Etex Group, will enter the Ghanaian market through a partnership built on years of collaboration and market experience accumulated over the past decade.
According to the company, the partnership has resulted in the development of a business model designed to create strong synergies between the two organizations while delivering greater value to customers within Ghana’s rapidly expanding dry construction sector. The initiative will combine European technology, technical expertise, and training academy resources with Velo West Africa Group’s local market knowledge, extensive distribution network, and customer support capabilities.
The company believes the introduction of Siniat Lightweight Construction Solutions will help address growing demand for modern, efficient, and sustainable construction methods while supporting the development of Ghana’s dry construction market.
Ms. Xhebexhiu expressed gratitude to the company’s clients, partners, contractors, engineers, architects, artisans, and employees whose support has contributed to the company’s success over the past decade.
She noted that the anniversary represents more than a celebration of achievements. It also signals the beginning of a new chapter focused on innovation, capacity building, and the introduction of advanced construction solutions aimed at shaping the future of Ghana’s construction industry.
