We create value for our customers by ensuring they’re always well stocked, maintaining the most extensive footprint of facilities and bolster our market leadership position in all the segments they serve. It has the total Manufacturing and Trading facility in Ghana and other neighbouring Countries in West Africa. Our services are extended to Corporate Sectors, Traders, Construction, and Mining Sectors and to end consumers in ECOWAS countries.

 

We have constructed one of the largest, strategic ‘state of art’ steel manufacturing plant in Africa at Larkpleku Village, Prampram, under the 1D1F ( One District One Factory )programme. We have constructed this plant in line with the Government vision and their mission to promote the “Made in Ghana” products.

 

We have procured 642 acres of land under 1D1F. The first phase of the Plant was constructed in 100 acres of land which comprises of a SMS (Steel Melting Shop) a Rolling Mill with a production capacity of 250,000 MT per annum and a Pre- Fab manufacturing Plant with a production capacity of 60,000 MT per annum. We will be producing 1.5million MT in different phases.

 

In second phase we will be manufacturing steel profiles and Aluminium Products. In third phase we will be manufacturing cold rolled products.

 

The manufacturing facility operates 24 hours a day 7 days a week with Sunday as the Maintenance day. The steel factory at Tema is nestle in  a sprawling 75 Acres of continuous land amidst the Heavy industrial

area in Tema and it is criss-crossed with inland roads and reinforced concrete storage areas.

 

The facility also includes factory blocks, warehouses, Head office, Engineering Stores, Automobile workshop with state-of-the-art facilities equipped, weighing scales and several auxiliary offices. To facilitate logistic, transport and material handling service, the company has ultra- modern world-class material handling machines and equipment.

 

It has also initiated the R & D department for project re-engineering and continuous development to help reduce the dependency on imported spares and increase the production capacity with respect to local conditions. The company always endeavours to produce higher quality product with the help of advance machines in order to reach the acme of excellence.

 

We are locally purchasing scrap to nourish our Plant as these are the significant raw materials that will be used in manufacturing of Iron and Steel Products and we need these raw materials for running our operations smoothly without any bottlenecks and is key for sustainable growth. Based on the current operations we require approx. 40,000 MT of scrap per month which we will procure partly locally and our requirement will go up in the near future once we augment our production.

 

We are also in the process of building a ship-breaking factory, which will support our steel industry. Dismantled ships also generate quality of re- usable steel scraps, which serves as input for our SMS. We will be manufacturing Aluminium Ingots, Steel balls etc in different phases. We will be saving approx 100 Million USDs per annum in foreign exchange for the Country as B5 Plus will be manufacturing locally in the first phase and we will be saving USD 200 Million per annum in 2nd phase for the Country.
