The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has commended KEDA ceramics also known as Twyford Ceramics- a Chinese manufacturing factory in Shama, Western region for their industrialization drive in the enclave.
He also commended the manufacturers for using local raw materials for production and their ’significant contribution’ to a 40% reduction in the importation of tiles to Ghana.
President Akufo-Addo made the commendation on Tuesday, July 23, 2019, when he visited KEDA ceramics at Shama as part of his official working tour of the Western region.
He assured the company that government will make their significant investment worthwhile.
Chairman of Sunda and KEDA investment, YC Shen praised the President for his continued personal interest in the operations of the Twyford ceramics factory.
He pleaded with the President and his government to take urgent measures to curb the influx of cheaper competing tiles from Europe to Ghana, a situation that undermines the local manufacturing in the country.
