As part of the government’s strategy to boost struggling industries, Ghana’s President Kufuor has officially re-opened a textile factory in the North Tongu District of the Volta Region.

Volta Star Limited (formerly Juapong Textiles Limited) is now being operated as a joint partnership between the government and U-Rich Limited, a Chinese textiles and garments firm. The facility currently employs some 185 people, including five management staff from China, and could see up to 800 staff working there if full capacity is achieved.
