Open Day 2024: Stakeholders Applaud Quality of Julius Berger-Abumet Products and Commitment to CSR
The Lagos Sales Office of Abumet, a subsidiary of Julius Berger specializing in Aluminium and Glass Solutions, recently hosted its much-anticipated Open Day event from November 12 to 14, 2024. This event was part of their strategic plan for the end of the year and included an engaging Architects Parley alongside impactful corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities directed towards an Old Peoples’ Home and an Orphanage in Lagos.
The Open Day featured an impressive display of Abumet’s latest products, showcasing innovative designs tailored to meet the preferences of clients and customers. Peter Obisesan, Abumet’s Area Sales Manager, described the event as an excellent opportunity for free consultations and design reviews that foster collaboration within the architectural community. Attendees were particularly eager to learn about EvoPRO, a new cost-effective product set to be officially launched in the first quarter of 2025, representing the company’s commitment to quality and innovation.
For over 30 years, Abumet has developed a strong reputation in the industry, offering comprehensive services that include design and planning, structural analysis, manufacturing, and after-sales support. Stakeholders at the event were unwavering in their praise for the company’s commitment to excellence. Architect Nnanna Ogbuja of Buffalo & Bay Nigeria Limited emphasized its leading position in Nigeria’s competitive market, stating, “I can confidently say that Abumet excels in their work. They delivered outstanding glass installations on a project I oversaw in Abuja, and I take great pride in their craftsmanship.”
Akinyemi Akinnole, an Associate at ACCL Architect, welcomed the Open Day initiative, recognizing its potential to enhance the knowledge base of architects and promote innovative technologies within the industry. He remarked, “Abumet’s work on windows and interiors not only enhances beauty but also aligns with the growing emphasis on climate and energy efficiency. Their initiative to spotlight emerging trends is truly commendable.”
Architect Ifeanyi Nwosu, CEO of Formscape, candidly acknowledged that while Abumet’s products may come at a premium price, their quality is unmatched. He shared his personal journey of switching to Abumet after facing disappointing experiences with other companies, affirming that their reliable outputs have consistently added value to his projects.
Visitors representing diverse sectors, including Akinsanya Joshua, Arc. Niji Dasaolu, and financial expert Chineye Anidebe from Providus Bank, expressed similar sentiments, praising Abumet for their durable and visually appealing products. The positive feedback extended to staff members, particularly Nneka, who was praised for her informative presentation that further solidified trust among prospective clients.
In addition to their business endeavors, Abumet’s CSR activities were a heartwarming highlight of the event. The company made significant contributions to the Living Fountain Orphanage Home and MASC Care Home for the elderly, both located in Lagos. The founders of the orphanage expressed heartfelt appreciation for the much-needed donations, which included a new laptop and food supplies.
Lady Bethy Obieri, one of the founders, conveyed her gratitude, stating, “We are overjoyed to receive a new laptop; it’s been a struggle with our old ones. This support means the world to us.”
Through its innovative products and steadfast commitment to community welfare, Abumet is not only redefining excellence in the aluminium and glass industry but also making a lasting positive impact on the communities it serves.
For a better society
