Acacia Composites Manufacturers hosted a delegation from Namibia’s Ministry of International Relations and Trade on 16 June, highlighting its composite manufacturing capabilities, export ambitions and sustainable sourcing strategy.
The delegation was led by Acting Executive Director Asser Nashikaku and toured the company’s factory operations.
Composite products made for African climates
Business Development Manager Eike Bolm presented Acacia Composites’ product range, including double-sided decking boards in natural African-inspired colours.
The company uses a blend of:
- locally sourced wood fibre
- high-density polyethylene
- UV stabilisers
- advanced additives
Its mono-extrusion process produces homogeneous composite profiles designed for durability, consistency and structural performance in demanding climates.
Local sourcing and sustainability
Acacia Composites sources wood fibre through partnerships with Namibian farming communities clearing encroacher bush.
The company says this supports:
- land restoration
- improved grazing capacity
- sustainable agriculture
- traceable local supply chains
- export-ready production
Expansion plans
With facility upgrades underway, Acacia Composites is preparing to expand extrusion capacity and move toward round-the-clock operations.
The goal is to serve both local and international customers as demand for composite building products increases.

Perspective
This visit matters because it connects composite manufacturing with Namibia’s wider export and industrial development strategy.
Acacia Composites is positioning itself not only as a local building products manufacturer, but as a potential regional supplier of durable, sustainable composite profiles.
If the company scales successfully, it could help strengthen Namibia’s role in value-added manufacturing while reducing reliance on imported composite building materials.
