The mass production of locally manufactured sanitizing equipment known as the M240-5 Sanitising Tunnel has begun in Tema by Adventure Trail Company Limited (ATCL).
The M240-5 Sanitising Tunnel is a structured tunnel with installed standing body scanners and a sanitizing system that automatically dispenses liquids to disinfect individuals.
The Managing Director of the ATCL, Mr. Elie Abou Jaoude, told the Daily Graphic yesterday that the company would produce 100 pieces of the equipment every month to help fight against the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) after receiving certification from the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) to begin production.
We have begun production and installation and we are targeting to produce about 100 every month. One has already been installed at the Palace Mall on the Spintex Road. Even though it’s new in Ghana, it’s not a new product because this model has been in use in Europe and other places around the world for some time now. But I am excited because it is a copy of what is going on in the developed world that is being replicated here so that we don’t have to import.

We must also encourage manufacturers and provide them with the required assistance, since we can only develop if we are able to increase our productivity and limit our dependence on imported goods that only benefit the economies of foreign nations.
