From its inception ASE has focused on supplying overseas customers in the construction and production industries either directly or through local market importers. Initially the emphasis was in East and West Africa and the Near and Middle East. Since then the Far East and Latin America have been added. This expansion was possible through the dedication of a truly specialised staff. Our people through extensive contacts with importers and end users are sensitive to your real needs and interests. By closely cooperating with producers, shipping lines, bankers and others, our staff has created customer satisfying solutions to meet a variety of specific requirements around the world. This dedicated staff stands ready to do the same for you. To make our services increasingly accessible we have opened our own offices, liaison and representative offices in a number of countries. These offices are headed by trained personnel who are familiar with local market requirements. Working in close cooperation with the home base, they are there to help you reach appropriate solutions to match your particular needs.
