About Us | ExpatLink Building Network

Our Story

ExpatLink Building Network is a private limited company with sister entities in Zimbabwe and Mozambique, launching operations in the second semester of 2018 with a bold vision: to bring premium quality building materials to Zimbabwe's construction industry.

We made history by introducing 52.5N Ultracem cement to the Zimbabwean market for the first time in 2019. This premium grade cement, imported from our partner Cimentos da Beira in Mozambique, has progressively become the most sought-after cement brand in the country.

What sets us apart is not just the superior quality of our products, but our commitment to direct customer engagement, technical support, and convenient delivery services. We believe in building relationships as strong as the structures our cement creates.
