Hengde technical team visited Ghana for inspection, visited customer factories for planning guidance and to understand the local market

The lightweight block brick equipment ordered by the customer from Ghana, Africa, has arrived on site. Coinciding with the visit of the company's inspection team, Chinese manufacturing is going global. This is another successful case of Guangzhou Hengde's high-quality wall material equipment on African soil!

Ghana's economy is growing rapidly, with strong demand for building materials

As the economic engine of West Africa, Ghana's economy is recovering strongly, with a GDP growth rate of 5.7%. Mining, manufacturing, and services jointly drive the growth momentum. This environment provides ideal conditions for lightweight building material projects. As demonstrated in your cooperation case with Guangzhou Hengde, using local sand and fly ash in an autoclave-free process is not only energy-efficient but also perfectly suited to Ghana's resource endowment and climate conditions.

The building materials sector has huge potential in Africa, especially in Ghana, where urbanization has created a housing gap of over 50 million units. Local production capacity for cement and other building materials only meets 60% of demand, urgently requiring innovative solutions to fill the gap. Chinese companies' investments in Africa are accelerating industrialization. The strong industrial complementarity between China and Africa, especially in manufacturing, allows localized production to significantly reduce costs and expand market coverage.

Ghana's investment environment is particularly friendly. The government has introduced policies such as corporate income tax reductions and full exemption of import duties on equipment. Company registration can be completed in as fast as 7 days, and there are no restrictions on foreign ownership, greatly lowering the barriers to entrepreneurship. The full range of services you provide, from site selection and planning to technical training, precisely seizes this opportunity to achieve rapid implementation using a mature business framework.

Hengde lightweight wall material equipment supports local enterprise development

Projects like lightweight block production lines align with Ghana's sustainable development needs. The industrial sector accounts for nearly 32% of GDP. The government is focusing on upgrading manufacturing through the "One District, One Factory" initiative. Sub-sectors such as agricultural product processing and building material production offer high returns. When expanding similar projects overseas, leveraging Ghana's logistics hub advantages (such as Tema Port handling 40% of West Africa's cargo transshipment) can further radiate to the 380 million population market of the West African Community.

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

At the customer's factory site, the company's technical director, Engineer Shao, gave an in-depth explanation based on the plant layout plans. He discussed in detail with the customer’s person in charge about factory layout, equipment placement, personnel scheduling, raw material storage and handling, and product stacking.

Guangzhou Hengde's lightweight block equipment solution not only addresses local production pain points but also responds to Ghana's renewable energy transition needs through energy-saving technologies (such as boiler-free and high-temperature autoclave designs). Ghana has abundant solar resources with an average annual sunshine exceeding 2,000 hours. For example, low-temperature self-heating cycle curing or natural curing can be adopted. Guangzhou Hengde looks forward to more local African investors joining to jointly develop this vast market.

At the construction site of the Ghana customer’s factory, Hengde's technical director Engineer Shao stated, "Every piece of equipment is a moving billboard. We are upgrading Made in China to Intelligent Manufacturing in China."
