Speaking at the inauguration of the factory, Industry State Minister Dr. Mebrhatu Melese said the factory built by Albaz Industrial Company will have a big share in enhancing the infrastructure and construction works in the country.
The state minister noted that broad-based activities are being carried out in the industry sector in Ethiopia.
The country will save over 2 million USD foreign currency annually with the establishment of the factory, he said.
The factory uses more than 60 percent of its inputs from local raw materials and this contributes to saving foreign currency, it was indicated.
