A Chinese group is investing US$100 million in a terrazzo/ceramics factory in Moamba district’s free economic zone, in Maputo province, Rádio Moçambique reports.
The industrial unit, with a capacity to produce 100,000 square metres of terrazzo and ceramic tiles per day, is being built over an area of 3,000 square metres, employing 850 workers in its initial phase.
Safira Mozambique Cerâmica Limitada is expected to come into operation in December, with a trial roll-out scheduled for the end of November.
Minister of Industry and Commerce of Mozambique, Silvino Moreno, paid the factory construction site an inspection visit on Monday, stating on the occasion that the factory’s entry into operation could reduce Mozambique’s imports of these materials by as much as 85%, still leaving a surplus for export to the region and beyond.
General director of Safira Mozambique Cerâmica Limitada Toni Li stressed that Mozambique has excellent raw materials, namely clay, justifying the installation of this, the largest such factory in the SADC region.
Elsewhere in Africa, KEDA Industrial Group already operates similar factories, including in Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Ghana, Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire.
