- Kevin Gast: CEO
GAST provides a wide range of waterproofing, engineering, and construction services and solutions.GAST, founded in 1961 had its roots in the chemical industry. This included specialist chemicals for the cosmetic and industrial markets including coatings and waterproofing compounds. The Gast family, originally of Prussian descent began spreading
their wings shortly before the Second World War far afield as the USA and Africa.
In the early 1980, GAST patented the first dam lining which at the time relied on a technology which GAST had perfected, which made the “plasticization“ of soil possible for the first time in the world. Research time specializing in polymer & plasticizer technologies resulted in various additional technologies being developed for the coatings, mining, waterproofing, and dam lining industries.
In 1983 the second eldest son of Peter Solomon Gast namely Dr. Kevin Gast became Chairman of GAST, who was largely responsible for expanding GAST as its known today to a multifaceted international operating entity encompassing various fields from Construction and Civil Engineering to Geosynthetics, Waterproofing, Mining, Pipelines & Consulting.
GAST provides a complete spectrum of services from design and supply to installation in both the civil and construction industries. The Group’s philosophy is based on the principle of single-point responsibility.
Having successfully completed more than 13 000 projects during the last millennium, GAST boasts accreditation from United Nations and World Bank, giving credit to GAST’s quality and performance on all dynamics.
