Plastics manufacturer, Proplastics says construction of its new factory has started after the company received regulatory approvals and secured funding for the project.

Proplastic chief executive Kuda Chigiya said that the project likely to be completed in October next year.
“We are not at liberty to disclose the exact figures at the moment as we are in closed period, however we can confirm that all the required financing is now in place,” said Chigiya.
“The project has already commenced, the contractor has been appointed, the site handover was done and the construction has now commenced with topsoil removal already completed. All requisite approvals have been secured including endorsements of the architectural works.”
