Top Ghanaian Steel Manufacturing Company B5 Plus Discusses Steel Exports in West Africa
- Written by Sandra Francisco
- Published: December 23, 2021
Mukesh Thakwani, Founder and CEO of B5 Plus Ltd, the leading Ghanaian steel manufacturing company, discusses exports of steel products in West Africa.
"B5 Plus is already exporting to the 15 West African countries including Togo, Benin, Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Liberia Freetown, and Nigeria. We would like to focus on the whole West African market and with African free trade (AfCFTA) coming, it will give us a boost to export not only to West Africa, but to the whole African market and we are really looking forward to taking that to the next level. That will really give an edge to African industrialists", says Mukesh Thakwani.
"Our product lines include rebars, wire rods, profiles, sections, roofing sections, binding wire, nails, cold rolling products, and they are all produced right here in Ghana. The biggest challenge is getting products to some places. For instance, we cannot move products by road to Ivory Coast because they insist that goods only come by sea but exporting by road only takes two days. So, we are speaking with authorities from Ivory Coast to get them to open up their land borders as it will make exporting goods easier and trade between the two countries would increase", he adds.
