About Us
AfriTake Sourcing & Construction is a trusted local Ethiopian team with over 20 years of experience in importing goods from around the world and delivering top-quality construction finishing services. We take contracts from building owners to complete unfinished residential and commercial properties—specializing in kitchen cabinets, tile flooring, interior doors and windows, full bathroom and basement finishes, and elevator repair.
In addition to construction, we are a reliable global sourcing partner. We have long-standing relationships with suppliers from China, Turkey, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, the USA, the UK, Europe, UAE and Thailand. These partnerships allow us to offer our clients high-quality products—such as furniture and fixtures—at better prices than most online suppliers.
Thanks to our efficient service and strong supplier network, many of our clients have been working with us for years. We handle everything from purchasing and shipping to final delivery and installation, ensuring a smooth, stress-free experience.
Time is life. Time is money. AfriTake helps you save both.
