Those seeking quality seek out Sacmi: confirmation of that now comes from Benin, in the heart of sub-Saharan Africa, where the first greenfield plant for floor and wall tiles, Afrikan Ceramics Solutions, has been started up.
Part of the Equitane Group, which operates across Africa in various sectors such as textiles, pharma and agrifood, the customer commissioned Sacmi to supply two new PH 5200 presses, entirely Made in Italy, and one ATI090 spray dryer.
The two presses were provided with a complete set of molds by Sacmi Molds & Dies, allowing the company to produce around 10,000 m2 of porcelain stoneware per day in the popular 60×60 and 60×120 cm sizes.
The new site is in the Glo-Djigbe industrial district, 50 km north of Cotonou, the country’s largest city and its economic capital. For Sacmi, this order marks the beginning of a key partnership in an area where increasing demand for uncompromising quality is matched by keen interest in highly competitive, high-performance, reliable manufacturing solutions to drive growth among local producers.
