Horizon Addis to Invest 1.1 Billion Birr
Horizon Addis, the only tire manufacturer in Ethiopia, is set to invest 1.1 billion birr on an expansion project. Horizon is in the process of negotiations with one of the top tire manufacturers in the world, Continental Germany, to exchange its antiquated machinery for the latest equipment.
One of the new machines that Horizon is planning to install is a 30 million birr machine that can produce 80,000 pieces of light truck radial tire every year. It is expected that the new machine will begin production in the coming September allowing Horizon to supply higher quality truck and bus tires.
It is expected that the expansion program will be completed in 18 months according to Belay Dechasa, General Manager of Horizon.
