Guangzhou Hengde and Ghanaian clients have successfully signed a contract, embarking on a new journey of cooperation in building technology.
Recently, Guangzhou Hengde Construction Technology Co., Ltd. successfully held a signing ceremony with a client in Ghana, Africa. The Ghanaian client officially purchased Hengde's foam concrete block production line. This cooperation marks the official launch of in-depth cooperation between the two parties in the field of building materials production and has profound significance for promoting the development of related industries in both regions.
Ghana, one of the fastest-growing economies in West Africa, is experiencing a dual wave of urbanization and industrialization. According to data from the Ghana Statistical Service, the construction industry contributed 6.7% to Ghana's GDP in 2023. The rapid urbanization process has created an annual shortfall of 110,000-140,000 affordable housing units, and the demand for new green and environmentally friendly building materials is also rising.
China has long been a major aid provider to African countries, and in recent years, the two sides have achieved remarkable results in cooperation in many fields. Under the general guidelines of President Xi Jinping's "Belt and Road" initiative, before the Spring Festival in 2024, a leading Ghanaian company sent an investigation team to China to conduct a detailed comparative study of manufacturers of new lightweight wall materials. After a comprehensive comparison of the equipment's hardware and technological capabilities, they chose to establish a strategic partnership with Guangzhou Hengde Building Technology Co., Ltd., signing an equipment purchase contract on February 22, 2025. Both sides will jointly promote the upgrading of Ghana's green and environmentally friendly wall material industry.
The West Africa Ghana Guangming International Free Trade Zone, invested and constructed by this Ghanaian company, has become a "demonstration window" for China-Africa capacity cooperation. With a planned area of 5,000 mu (approximately 333 hectares), it is a key project of the Ghanaian government's "one zone, one factory" strategy. Since its launch in 2020, it has attracted dozens of Chinese companies, forming a full industrial chain ecosystem covering building materials manufacturing, equipment R&D, and logistics warehousing. Its "bonded processing + cross-border trade" model provides Chinese companies with tax breaks, expedited customs clearance, and other policy benefits, and it builds a technology transformation platform through the "China-Ghana Joint Innovation Center." At the free trade zone's opening ceremony, the President of Ghana personally attended and praised it as a "milestone in China-Africa cooperation."
The Chinese have brought Chinese characteristics to African countries. China's astonishing achievements in the field of new wall materials have amazed the world, accelerating the formation of three core trends in Ghana's construction industry:
1. Policy-Driven Green Transformation: The government is mandating the implementation of the "National Green Building Standard," specifically requiring wall materials to be fire-resistant, heat-insulating, and lightweight, while also encouraging the recycling of solid waste resources.
2. Urgent Need to Increase Production Capacity: Traditional workshop-style production is inefficient. The national production capacity of blocks in Ghana, including ordinary hollow blocks, only meets 40% of market demand, with some imports needed. High-performance production lines are urgently needed to address the huge demand gap.
3. Material Adaptability Technology: Ghana has a wide variety of tailings, fly ash, and other solid waste with complex compositions, placing extremely high demands on the technical formulas of equipment manufacturers. Equipment and technology must be suitable for local raw material properties and have customized production capabilities.
Hengde Company provides point-to-point service addressing these three points. The company conducts extensive testing of local raw materials and customizes the production line to match the technology.
Why did the Ghanaian client choose Guangzhou Hengde after comparing more than 10 equipment suppliers? It's due to its three core advantages:
1. German Technological Background: Introducing the new generation of CLC foam concrete technology from Germany's LUKAS, with exclusive authorization in China. Targeting the characteristics of Ghana's solid waste materials, the Hengde team completed raw material adaptation experiments, successfully utilizing various tailings in various lightweight bricks. Production line scraps can be recycled with zero emissions, meeting Ghana's requirements for environmental subsidies.
2. Uncopiable Cutting Technology: Fully CNC controlled, the cutting tolerance of various lightweight block sizes is about 1 mm, far exceeding the highest level of the industry. Cutting sizes are adjustable, capable of cutting blocks of any size.
3. Multifunctional Integration: Versatile, it can produce various types of lightweight blocks, self-insulating blocks, ceramsite blocks, waterproof blocks, high-precision blocks, and various new types of lightweight wall panels.
The cooperation between Ghana and our company is of great significance. China-Ghana production capacity complements each other, jointly developing the blank African market, helping the free trade zone build a "green building materials industrial cluster," and taking an important step in Hengde's strategic plan to sell lightweight wall material equipment in Africa. As Ghana's first Chinese-led comprehensive park, its location will radiate to neighboring countries such as Côte d'Ivoire and Benin, serving the US$3.4 trillion market of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). The head of the company said: "Hengde's General Strength has given us sustainable competitiveness with "Made in China" in the African building materials market. In the future, we will deepen and continue our cooperation and gradually cover other regional markets."
