Accra, Aug.17, GNA - Mr Mahama Ayariga, Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, on Tuesday visited Interplast Ghana limited to acquaint himself with their operations.

He was led on the tour by Mr Hayssam Fakhry, Managing Director and Mr El-Hadji Samudini, General Manager of Exports after a close door meeting.

Mr Fakhry said the company as a premier producer of plastic products encouraged the purchase of high standard raw materials for manufacturing their products to meet required international standards.

He said the major raw material for the production of pipes and polyethylene, was a thermoplastic material made from petroleum and purchased from companies in Sweden, Belgium, Slovakia and United States of America.

Mr Fakhry said management was determined to produce quality products to generate profits to boost the trade and industry sector of the economy.

Mr Ayariga commended the management and staff for their operations and work ethics in ensuring that products manufactured met the desired requirements of international trading partners.

"The raw material which is manufactured from petroleum would create an avenue for huge investments and job creation with the commencement of oil and petroleum production in the country," he added.
