Accra, Feb. 25, – President John Dramani Mahama broke ground Tuesday for a $250 million KEDA (Ghana) Ceramic float glass factory in Shama, Western Region. He also commissioned the sanitary ware factory and Phase 5 tile production line.
Recalling his October China visit (hosted by President Xi Jinping), Mahama said Twyford Group Chairman Shen Yanchang pledged the project post-Hong Kong listing. “Less than a year later, we’re here—not reviving Aboso, but building anew.”
Every glass item in Ghana—windows, bottles, drinking glasses—is currently imported. “This is a game-changer. Thank you, Chairman Shen, for believing in us,” he said.
Mahama assured incentives via the new 24-Hour Economy Authority: duty/tax-free capital equipment for expansions/retooling, as raised in the maiden Presidential Dialogue.
Project Specs:
Phase 1: 600 tons/day (commission August 2026).
Phase 2: +800 tons (total 1,400 tons/day).
“This isn’t just factories—it’s Ghana declaring we’ll manufacture and export, not just import,” he stated, eyeing the $60B global float glass market.
Trade Minister Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare called it a manufacturing investor win. KEDA MD Li Wei pledged zero-waste sustainability. Chairman Shen praised the 24-Hour Bill as a global business signal.
