The company specializes in the production of high quality aluminium curtain walls for high rise buildings, doors, windows, external aluminium cladding, suspended ceilings and partitions, toilet cubicles, and raised floors, based on international standards for high-end market.

To ensure continuity and that the Foundation outlives the Founder, the Foundation will be managed by Congregations of Roman Catholic Reverend Fathers and Sisters, namely; The Society of Jesus (The Jesuits), The Holy Ghost Fathers (CSSP), The Handmaids of the Holy Child Jesus (HHCJ), The Daughters of Divine Love (DDL), and The Holy Family Sisters of The Needy (HFSN). Operating from Enugu, The Roman Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese plays a pivotal advisory role geared towards achieving the laid-out goals of the Foundation.

Until her demise, the Foundation was ably assisted in policy formulation by Paul’s aunt, a well experienced and eminent lady; Mrs. Phoebe Chiadi Ajayi-Obe, second female SAN in Nigeria and the first from the Eastern part of Nigeria. His cousin, Professor Ifeoma Enemuo, a onetime Deputy Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus, and a lawyer by profession, is gradually filling the gap.
