Jintao Sanitary Ware Co. Ltd, a leading household name specialising in the production and distribution of sanitary wares, bathtubs, bathroom furniture and accessories has opened an ultramodern factory in Takoradi-Ghana.

The global sanitary ware producer belongs to the China-based Hwani Group and has a leading market knowledge and expertise carefully nurtured over 18 years of operations.

The factory, situated in the heart of the Takoradi industrial area, will go a long way to reduce the cost of sanitary wares in the country, offering unbeatable prices at a higher quality and creating jobs for the people of Takoradi.

Presently, over 90 per cent of Jintao Sanitary Ware Co. Ltd staff are Ghanaians, evidence of their commitment to creating jobs and equipping staff with hands-on skills, setting them on the path of entrepreneurship.

Jintao Sanitary Ware Co. Ltd chose Ghana because the nation is filled with opportunities, with the company seeking to ride on these opportunities and further create greater opportunities for the Ghanaian populace, and by extension the African continent.

The highlight of the unveiling was the ribbon cutting ceremony which not only marked the official operation of Hwani Group’s Ghana Jintao Sanitary Ware Co., Ltd., but also symbolised the company’s bright future.

Ophelia Zhang, Marketing Director, Ghana Jintao Sanitary Ware Co. Ltd. speaking to the press during a tour of the factory disclosed that the company has a maximum capacity of producing over a million products a day.

“Jintao Sanitary Ware Co. Ltd. produces hand wash basins, WCs and cabinets. We have operated in Ghana for over two years. Presently we have a staff capacity made up of 90 per cent local people and 10 per cent foreigners.”

Ophelia revealed that 30% of Jintao Sanitary Ware Co. Ltd products will be sold on the Ghanaian market, with seventy (70%) exported for sale.

This proves the company’s desire to make Ghana one of its production hubs and contribute to the foreign exchange earnings of the country.

The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate for the Essikado-Ketan constituency, Charles Bissue, who was present at the unveiling applauded Jintao Sanitary Ware Co. Ltd for bringing jobs to the constituency.

He explained that setting up of the free zones enclave, where Jintao Sanitary Ware Co. Ltd is situated forms part of the vision of President Akufo-Addo to industrialise Ghana and encourage foreign investments.

To him, this is just the beginning of an era where Ghana grows to become an industrial beacon of Africa.

“First, the factory (Jintao Sanitary Ware Co. Ltd) has brought employment here. Secondly, they will make sure to pay their taxes to improve the economy.

"For me, it is a good thing that this gov’t is doing (establishing the free zones enclave in Takoradi). Back then there were some things we had to import but because this is a free zone enclave, they are the ones rather than producing to export.

"So, this means our foreign exchange earnings will rise and stretch our future trade balance. So, these are the things that help the nation,” he added.

The launch was graced by Chairman Zhang, shareholders; Huang Caiming, Chen Jianhui, Lin Liangyue, General Manager Luo, Charles, and other dignitaries in Takoradi.

Jintao Sanitary Ware Co. Ltd envisions building an additional six factories in Africa in the next two years as part of efforts to leave its footprints in Africa.
