Proximity to Raw Materials: Strategic location within ZIC ensures easy access to essential raw materials like silica sand, soda ash, and limestone, potentially minimizing transportation costs.
Reduced Operational Costs: ZIC's well-developed infrastructure, including reliable power supply and efficient waste management systems, can contribute to lower operational costs.
Long-term cost reduction through a skilled local workforce and access to a growing African market.
