Namib Mills hopes its new Instant Maize Porridge plant at Otavi will help the economy of the town through the additional employment opportunities created there.
The N.dollars 14 million plant was completed at the end of last year.
Speaking at the launch of Top Score Instant Maize Porridge here on Thursday, Namib Mills Chief Executive Officer Ian Collard said they create socio-economic growth through investment in local economies with innovations such as these.
“The Instant Maize Porridge range of products is not only a game changer, but is something that all of us as Namibians can be truly proud of,” he said.
Collard also said it is important for the company to not only focus on their strategic pillars of producing great quality products and services, but to also focus on investing in people and remaining responsible towards the environment to live in accordance with their brand promise of feeding the nation.
The Instant Maize Porridge range eliminates cooking time for maize meal while maintaining the taste, texture and feeling of the traditionally prepared Top Score maize meal.
