The construction of a US$175m motor vehicle assembling plant is set to commence soon in Zambia following approval by the Zambia Environmental Management Agency (ZEMA) in September.
Gonow Zambia Limited which is a firm in Zambia is projected to start on the construction works soon. It recently submitted an environmental impact assessment to ZEMA for review in regards to the proposed development of a motor vehicle-assembling plant at Lusaka South, Zambia multi-facility economic zone (LS-MFEZ).
Gonow Zambia Limited Director, Mr. Gerald Makungu confirmed the reports and said that the plant will sit on 2.5 hectares of land and is expected to open up many opportunities including business, partnership prospects, job creation and will further improve the livelihood of the citizens.
He added that the construction of the assembly plant will also help spearhead industrialization in Zambia and further enhance competition and wealth creation.
“We are very happy that we will soon start the construction of the assembly plant soon after the ground-breaking ceremony which will be conducted anytime from now. Our partners, Forland from China are currently in the country to witness the ground-breaking ceremony,” Mr. Makungu said.
