The ALS Group of Companies started of as a dam building operation in Natal almost twenty years ago. Four years later an opportunity in civil contracting was pursued and the business expanded into plant hire and the related mining and civil industries. The Group of companies today comprises 16 companies of which 7 specialises in different fields in the earthmoving industry. Two other companies specialises respectively in the manufacturing of construction vehicles and in the maintenance of earthmoving equipment. Two new additions in 2008 will add expertise in construction and the manufacturing of concrete products to the group. These companies work together, combining resources and expertise, to offer a one stop solution to any earthmoving or civil operations challenge.
