Glass Manufacturing Opportunity in ZIC: Key Business Advantages

Government Incentives: Attractive incentives are offered by the ZIC authority, including potential tax breaks on imported machinery and duty reductions on finished glass products (based on government initiatives in similar zones across Africa).
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.
5% Faster Time-to-Market: ZIC's streamlined regulatory processes can expedite your factory's set up by an estimated 5% compared to national procedures. Considering an average industry setup time of 18 months, this translates to a potential time saving of 9 months.
