Africa Construction Boom: Drywall Screws Demand

This drives massive demand for drywall screws used in residential and commercial construction. Countries like Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana, and Zambia are seeing increased adoption of drywall construction methods for both residential and commercial buildings. TradeGo Fasteners has supplied construction fasteners to African markets since 2008, with established distribution networks in South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and Zambia.
