Trucks Assembly Plant begins operations in Ondo
One of the investors at the Ondo-Linyi Industrial Hub at Ore, Ondo State, Dongfeng Trucks, has started assembling of trucks at the industrial hub.
Manager of the hub, Chief Alex Ajipe, who disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists in Akure said Dongfeng Trucks, established in 1969, is one of China’s leading truck brands.
Ajipe noted that the truck assemblage plant at the hub was an historic breakthrough for the state.
He said the plant would begin full assembly of trucks when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.
According to him, “This is the first time in the history of the state that a truck assembly plant will be operating in the state.
“The hub has recorded landmark establishments, such as one of the highest capacity producers of high quality food-grade ethanol in Nigeria.
“It has the first MDF factory in West Africa; a high-capacity textile mill and a paper mill, among others, all of which have employed the state indigenes in their thousands,” he said.
