Minister of Trade and Industry, Alan Kyerematen has expressed satisfaction with the immense efforts and contribution Joy Industries has put up over the years as he paid a working visit to the company’s headquarters in Akwadum in the Eastern Region as he familiarizes himself with the operations of the company.
Mr. Kyeremanten was welcomed by the top officials of the great company, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the company, Dr. Manfred Takyi, Deputy CEO, Dr. Harrison Tetteh, and Head of Productions, Dr. Nutifafa Takyi.
The Minister who was impressed with the company’s performance over the years added that he is glad a company like Joy Industries still does their herbs extraction locally but not import flavors from foreign companies.
“Because they can import the same extracts from other countries but they are doing their product extraction from local herbs. This means that almost all their raw materials are procured locally which is another reason why 1D1F is pleased to support a company like this. This Company has demonstrated that they deserve the government’s support.”
“The Company has applied for 1D1F status, we have done an extensive review of the company’s performance over the years, and for me our decision to support the company is validated by this visit. They’ve also told me their products are unique because there are other companies that are doing the same products but are using flavors imported from other countries. What I think sets this company apart is the fact that they’re doing extract from the herbs and using that as the base for their products. Which is very commendable.” He affirmed
