HORN AFRICA CONSTRUCTION TRADE AND INDUSTRY SHARE COMPANY IS EXPANDING ITS OPERATIONS TO INCLUDE TRADING SERVICES, AIMING TO ADDRESS THE RISING COSTS OF CONSTRUCTION. THIS VENTURE WILL FOCUS ON MANAGING AND CONTROLLING ESSENTIAL CONSTRUCTION INPUTS, SUCH AS CONCRETE HOLLOW BLOCKS, TERRAZZO TILES, PREFABRICATED SLABS, WALLS AND SEPTIC TANKS, METAL DOORS AND WINDOWS, AND WOODEN DOORS. BY EFFECTIVELY MANAGING THE SUPPLY OF THESE MATERIALS, HORN AFRICA AIMS TO MITIGATE PRICE INFLATION AND ENSURE A STEADY AND AFFORDABLE AVAILABILITY OF CONSTRUCTION INPUTS.

TO ENHANCE SELF-SUFFICIENCY AND COST-EFFICIENCY, HORN AFRICA PLANS TO INVEST IN MACHINERY, TRANSPORT VEHICLES, AND AN AGGREGATE STONE CRUSHER. THESE ACQUISITIONS WILL REDUCE RELIANCE ON EXTERNAL SUPPLIERS, STREAMLINE PRODUCTION PROCESSES, AND PASS ON COST SAVINGS TO CUSTOMERS. BY BEING MORE SELF-SUFFICIENT, HORN AFRICA CAN MAINTAIN COMPETITIVE PRICING AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE AFFORDABILITY OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.

IN A STRATEGIC MOVE, HORN AFRICA GENERAL TRADING IS PREPARED TO ACQUIRE SHARES FROM MESBO CEMENT FACTORY, GRANTING INDIRECT OWNERSHIP IN THE CEMENT INDUSTRY. THIS OWNERSHIP WILL ENABLE HORN AFRICA TO CONTROL THE COST OF BUILDING MATERIALS. BY SELLING CEMENT AND RELATED PRODUCTS IN THE MARKET, HORN AFRICA CAN REGULATE SUPPLY AND PREVENT ARTIFICIAL SHORTAGES, ENSURING A STABLE AND REASONABLY PRICED CEMENT SUPPLY FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.

FURTHERMORE, HORN AFRICA GENERAL TRADING WILL REGULATE DEMAND-BASED TRADING, BOTH FOR IMPORTS AND EXPORTS, TO BRIDGE AVAILABILITY GAPS IN CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS. THIS INCLUDES IMPORTING METALS OR REBARS, ALUMINUM, AND OTHER BUILDING WORK ACCESSORIES. EFFICIENT MANAGEMENT OF IMPORTS AND EXPORTS WILL FULFILL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY AND CONTRIBUTE TO A SMOOTH FLOW OF MATERIALS.

THROUGH THESE TRADING SERVICES, HORN AFRICA CONSTRUCTION TRADE AND INDUSTRY SHARE COMPANY AIMS TO EXERT CONTROL OVER CONSTRUCTION COSTS, ENHANCE SELF-SUFFICIENCY, REGULATE SUPPLY AND DEMAND, AND SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH OF THE CONSTRUCTION SECTOR.
