  • We are a certified producer for the red fire pot, an improved cooking stove for Liberian use. This is part of a project by Giz- Endev.

On major projects, we employed up to 12 welders, but since one of the difficulties encountered was the lack of technical skill in local welders we redimensioned our set up. Our hope is to conduct proper and serious training for our workers and future apprentices.

To maintain our capacity in professional welding we are able to contract certified African welders.

Training workshops for the producers of improved cooking stoves ( red firepot)  have been conducted at our facility.
