$400m Abel Clay factory launched

ANSA McAL yes­ter­day un­veiled its $400 mil­lion in­vest­ment in ABS di­vi­sion–Abel's new clay fac­to­ry lo­cat­ed at De­pot Road, Long­denville, Ch­agua­nas.This fac­to­ry is the largest and most mod­ern clay fa­cil­i­ty in the Caribbean, as well as the sin­gle largest non-en­er­gy in­vest­ment in the re­gion.The new, cut­ting-edge fa­cil­i­ty is a sig­nif­i­cant de­vel­op­ment for the com­pa­ny which has been in clay block man­u­fac­tur­ing for eight decades, earn­ing the rep­u­ta­tion for qual­i­ty, va­ri­ety and in­no­va­tion.

Yes­ter­day, ANSA McAL Group chair­man A Nor­man Sab­ga joined with Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar, gov­ern­ment min­is­ters, hard­ware deal­ers, con­trac­tors and part­ners for the un­veil­ing of the fac­to­ry.Sab­ga com­mit­ted the group, through ABS, to sup­port and as­sist the com­mu­ni­ty of Long­denville, in fur­ther de­vel­op­ment of the ABS Long­denville Sports Fa­cil­i­ty, to be man­aged by the com­mu­ni­ty.

The shift to a new tech­no­log­i­cal­ly-dri­ven process al­lows Abel Clay to sat­is­fy mar­ket de­mands for su­pe­ri­or qual­i­ty clay prod­ucts, man­u­fac­tured to lo­cal and in­ter­na­tion­al stan­dards in line with re­quired build­ing spec­i­fi­ca­tions.The fac­to­ry has cre­at­ed a plat­form for in­no­va­tion and mar­ket ex­pan­sion as Abel Clay now pro­duces su­pe­ri­or clay blocks with a faster, more ef­fi­cient, op­er­a­tional and de­liv­ery process. The new sys­tem is flex­i­ble enough to eas­i­ly switch pro­duc­tion from hor­i­zon­tal four-inch clay blocks to ver­ti­cal core six-inch blocks.
