Tekura Satellite Production site :
This new site is a 1 acre plot at Amantia which is to be the basic production unit to supply Tekura with partially processed work for finishing in Accra.
It is the 1st among 3 to be constructed by the end of this year.
This shed was connected to the national grid for electricity on 14/3/11 at 3:30pm but work had already begun on the 4/3/11 with a stand by generator. With 7 carvers, 2 machine operators and 4 technical staff under the supervision of the General Manager, this new and efficient mode of production took off.
The process of getting a complete Tekura product starts from here. we start sourcing of wood in the wood catchment area of the Forest Institute of Ghana close to this facility, then the wood goes on to be carved into the desired shapes and sizes which go through initial drying and then these carved pieces are conveyed.
This has become possible with the collaboration of FORIG to make us of off-cuts and dead wood from its areas of operations.
These off-cuts and dead wood which are forest waste products but are raw materials to us and thus a very important part of the production. This site also aims at training unemployed and unskilled people in handicraft in the surrounding communities as well providing interested farmers with an alternative source of income during the off-farming seasons.This raining will start on the next quarter of this year.
