Zimbabwe: Zimglass Suspends Production

18 November 2013

ZIMBABWE Glass Company, the country's sole flint glass producer has temporarily suspended production due to inadequate raw materials, Zimglass acting chief executive, Mr Gilbert Tapfuma has said. Speaking during Industry and Commerce Minister Mike Bimha's tour of Zimglass on Friday, Mr Tapfuma said the cash-strapped Zimglass has been failing to source raw materials resulting in the company temporarily suspending production.

"We have limited working capital and as a result we have not been able to get the raw materials as and when we want them. We are appealing to Government to avail funds to support industry. We are also experiencing a decline in demand since we only have Delta as our main consumer," he said.
