THE WICHTECH STORY
In 1995, Dr. Chidozie Nwankwo registered a small company in Lagos. No fanfare. No big office. Just an idea: Nigerians deserve quality building materials.
Today, that idea runs on CNN International. It has over 160 offices across Nigeria. It has sold more than 25 million roofing tiles. It employs thousands. And it started the same way every big thing starts — small, with one person who refused to sell anything less than the best.
Here is what most people don't know. Wichtech didn't grow by luck. Every partnership was chosen with care.
Gerard Roofing from New Zealand, tested against 200kph winds and fire up to 760°C.
Betek Paint from Turkey, a company that has led its industry since 2001.
FlowPlumb piping systems, manufactured to British and European standards, trusted on projects from the London Olympic Village to the National Library in Abuja.
And many more partnerships...
We didn't just import products. We imported standards. Then we backed them with a 50-year warranty and warehouses that never run empty.
That is why builders in Lagos still call us before they call anyone else. Not because we are the loudest. Because when the roof goes up, it stays up. When the pipe is laid, it doesn't leak. When the paint dries, it doesn't fade in three months.
Thirty years later, we are still in Lagos. Still Nigerian. Still building homes that last.
If you are planning a project, big or small, talk to us before you talk to anyone else.
