Westco Investment Ltd. has pledged to set the pace with a commitment to become a market leader in the country’s whole sale distribution industry.
Speaking in an interview with the DAILY GUIDE ahead of plans to establish Ghana’s largest pasta factory by 2025, Chief Executive of the company, Haissam Haroun said as a key player that has carved a niche for itself in the supply of groceries, diary and automotive products, and will continue to develop innovative strategies to meet the needs of its customers.
He said the state-of-the-art plant for the largest pasta production facility in the country will be developed in partnership with OBA Makarna, one of the world’s leading food manufacturers known for its cutting-edge production technology and unwavering commitment to quality.
Mr. Haroun stated that the factory will not only meet local demand but also enhance the quality and availability of pasta in the region thereby reducing dependency on imports to ensure consistent supply.
He mentioned that the pasta production facility will also benefit Ghanaians by creating numerous job opportunities, both directly within the factory and indirectly through supply chains and related industries.
Those job opportunities, he explained will not only contribute to reducing unemployment but it will also go a long way to help stabilise food prices.
“At the heart of Westco Investment’s operations is a relentless pursuit of excellence. The new production facility will be equipped with the latest technology to ensure that every product meets the highest standards of quality. From the initial stages of production to the final product that reaches consumers, Westco Investment guarantees perfection—a hallmark of its business philosophy,” he said.
“The upcoming production facility is just one example of how the company is poised to shape the future of the industry in Ghana, setting new benchmarks for others to follow,” he added
Mr. Haroun further indicated that the company’s feat was not achieved by accident but as a result of a deliberate and perfectionist approach to business and dedication to consumer satisfaction.
The CEO noted, “In a market where competition is fierce, Westco Investment Limited remains ahead of the curve, demonstrating that true leadership is not just about being the biggest—it’s about being the best.”
