Velo West Africa Group is celebrating the 10th anniversary of ITALKOL in Ghana, highlighting a decade of efforts to improve construction standards through innovation, technical training and product development.
Launched in 2016, ITALKOL was introduced to provide high-performance construction materials designed for African conditions while adhering to European manufacturing standards. The brand’s product range includes tiling systems, waterproofing solutions, skimming products, industrial flooring systems and decorative wall finishes.
Managing Director, Enkelejda Xhebexhiu, said the company’s growth over the past decade reflects more than product supply, stressing that sustainable construction depends on quality materials, technical expertise and skilled workmanship.
She explained that this approach has guided ITALKOL’s collaboration with contractors, engineers, architects and artisans across Ghana, supported by continuous training programmes, product demonstrations and on-site technical assistance.
In 2021, the company expanded its portfolio with the introduction of PIXEL PAINTS, a premium coatings brand offering architectural paints and waterproofing solutions tailored for tropical climates.
The anniversary celebration also featured the unveiling of the next phase of expansion, including plans to introduce Siniat Lightweight Construction Solutions into the Ghanaian market through a partnership with Etex Building Performance.
The collaboration is expected to combine European construction technology with local distribution and technical support systems, aimed at promoting modern and sustainable building practices in Ghana.
Company officials say the initiative is designed to meet the growing demand for efficient construction solutions while strengthening technical capacity within the country’s building sector.
As ITALKOL marks its 10-year milestone, the company says it remains committed to innovation, skills development and expanding solutions that support the growth of Ghana’s construction industry.
