Global Expansion
After establishing a local Southern African footprint, in the early 1990’s, ALC extended its reach into international export markets. This has resulted in the distribution of products all across the globe, including Australasia, Asia, Europe, Africa and North and South America. The cornerstone of ALC’s success has been our ability to innovate and this, combined with extensive product and application knowledge, has allowed us to maintain and grow our global customer base. As we continue to broaden our international reach, we have several long-term strategies supporting this fundamental aspect of the business, including a continued focus on new product development and research.

THE ALC STORY
From its humble beginnings in 1989, when the company was founded by visionary Jumbo Anderson, ALC has grown into an
established global player operating in over
45 countries worldwide.
The culture of ALC is defined by its 4 pillars of innovation, technology, teamwork and quality, pillars that were inspired from Jumbo’s approach to “get it right from the beginning”.
“Nothing is impossible. We are driven to match
carefully chosen opportunities with the perfect solution,
just like every jar has a matching lid.”
– Jumbo Anderson –
When faced with a challenge, Jumbo always held true to the belief that nothing was impossible and using the analogy of every jar having a unique and matching lid, was driven by the challenge of approaching carefully chosen opportunities as an opportunity to excel by providing a perfect solution.
Jumbo’s enthusiastic spirit continues to influence the organisation to this day and it is only fitting that his legacy be carried on through the name of the company he founded – the Anderson Lid Company or ALC.
