History
SLE Global’s history goes back to 2010 when the founder of the company changed from the financial industry to the construction development industry when he joined Veerhuis Building Systems. Veerhuis is an innovative construction system which allows for high quality, optimally insulated, termite and earthquake-resistant constructions. The initial focus markets were the tropical Caribbean and Latin American countries. In Brazil and Haiti, Veerhuis and its partners established specialized construction material factories supporting local construction companies resulting in multiple constructions such as churches and orphanages, hospitals, medical wards and morgues, factories and warehouses, schools and houses.
To develop large scale self-sufficient communities in Sub-Saharan Africa, SLE Global was established in 2014.
