Hengde's technical team visited Ghana, visiting client factories for planning and guidance, and understanding the local market.

Lightweight block making equipment ordered by a customer in Ghana, Africa has arrived on site. This coincides with a visit from a company inspection team. This is another successful case of Guangzhou Hengde's high-quality wall material equipment in Africa!

Ghana's economy is experiencing rapid growth, leading to a high demand for building materials.

As a key economic driver in West Africa, Ghana's robust economic recovery, with a GDP growth rate of 5.7%, is fueled by the mining, manufacturing, and service sectors. This environment provides ideal conditions for lightweight building materials projects. As your collaboration with Guangzhou Hengde demonstrates, the autoclaveless process utilizing local sand and fly ash is not only energy-efficient but also perfectly suited to Ghana's resource endowment and climate conditions.

The building materials sector holds immense potential in Africa, particularly in Ghana. Urbanization has created a housing shortage exceeding 50 million units, while domestic production of cement and other building materials only meets 60% of demand, creating an urgent need for innovative solutions. Chinese investment in Africa is accelerating industrialization, leveraging strong complementarities between Chinese and African industries, especially in manufacturing, where localized production significantly reduces costs and expands market reach.

Ghana offers a particularly favorable investment environment, with government incentives such as corporate income tax reductions and exemption from import duties on equipment. Business registration can be completed in as little as 7 days, with no restrictions on foreign equity ownership, significantly lowering the barriers to entry. Your comprehensive services, ranging from site planning to technical training, perfectly capitalize on this opportunity, leveraging a mature business framework for rapid implementation.

Hengde lightweight wall material equipment supports the development of local enterprises.

Projects like lightweight block production lines align with Ghana's sustainable development goals. The industrial sector accounts for nearly 32% of GDP, and the government, through its "One District, One Factory" initiative, is prioritizing manufacturing upgrades. Sub-sectors such as agricultural processing and building materials production offer high returns. Expanding similar projects overseas, leveraging Ghana's logistics hub advantages (such as Tema Port handling 40% of West Africa's cargo transhipment), could further extend reach to the 380 million-strong ECOWAS market.

The Guangzhou Hengde technical team traveled to Ghana to optimize local raw material production experiments based on the characteristics of the client's local raw materials, customizing the production line formula to ensure that the lightweight blocks meet strength and insulation performance standards while achieving resource utilization of solid waste.

At the client's factory site, the company's technical director, Shao, gave a detailed explanation based on the factory building plan drawings, discussing with the client's manager the layout of the factory building, the placement of equipment, personnel scheduling, raw material storage and processing, and product stacking.

Guangzhou Hengde's lightweight block equipment solution not only addresses the pain points of localized production but also responds to Ghana's renewable energy transition needs through energy-saving technologies (such as boiler-free, high-temperature autoclave design). The region is rich in solar resources, with over 2000 hours of sunshine per year, allowing for the use of low-temperature self-heating cycle curing or natural curing. Guangzhou Hengde looks forward to more local African investors joining in to jointly develop this vast market.

At the construction site of the client's factory in Ghana, Hengde's technical director, Shao, stated, "Each piece of equipment is a mobile billboard; we are upgrading "Made in China" to "Created in China."
