Western Rod and Wire Limited, a Ghanaian company, has called for greater recognition of local aluminium rod producers amid the country's efforts to develop an integrated aluminium industry. The company argues that these existing producers have invested in local aluminium wire rod manufacturing, contributing significantly to reducing dependence on imported aluminium rods and supporting the growth of Ghana's electrical cable industry.
Western Rod & Wire has been manufacturing aluminium rod in Ghana since 2005 and continues to supply local cable manufacturers. The company emphasizes that the establishment of new investments in the aluminium sector should not obscure the contributions of existing manufacturers, whose presence dates back to 2015.
