A new production facility with higher production capacity will be built at MGIL’s premises in Koforidua to boost export volumes and generate jobs, particularly for women and youth, according to domestic media reports.
Since acquiring MGIL, EAA has invested heavily in technologies to raise productivity, including solar power systems, digital pattern software, smart metal detection and a custom enterprise resource planning platform.
These innovations have doubled productivity and enabled the successful transfer of technical skills to local middle managers.
MGIL employs over 700 direct workers, with 72 per cent of its workforce being women. It exports over 90 per cent of its products to major international brands based in the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe.
EAA aims at creating over 10,000 quality manufacturing jobs in West Africa by 2030, while shaping the emerging apparel ecosystem to prioritise people and protect the planet.
MGIL is actively working toward a 60 per cent female leadership target.
