1. EXCUTIVE SUMMARY
The development of industry and metal welding process industries in Ethiopia has given high
priority. Realizing the opportunity, HABTOM KFLEMARYAM PAULOS Metal Welding
PLC plan to establish full-fledged integrated metal welding and fabrication processing
industry, in focus to metal welding (Welding Forming, Rolling, Tube Steel, Flat Plate,
Angles, shaft, half bearing, counter wick, safety stand, hospital bed production, farming
wheel spare parts, Milling Sawing and shearing, Plasma cutting Lathe work Drilling and
punch in) and production/processing wheel cart.
To this end, the company will plan to planted new work shop in 64 m2 land for medium
machine planting processing in the sub-city of lafto Woreda 12 besides existing 64 m2 of
land already establish and start metal welding and fabrication lafto industry site. Selection of
metal welding and molding processing site was considering its suitability to welding and the
availability of the necessary utilities as well as due to accessibility to road and other basic
infrastructural facilities. The company over all stratagem will based on a continuous
improvement process of setting objective, measuring result, and providing feedback to
facilities farther growth and process
Regarding market access for the product of the company which is welded metal and
processed product were analyzed with the prevailing market situation and major players in

2. Introduction
2.1. Economic back ground and potential of the country in relation to investment
Ethiopia has achieved remarkable economic growth rate which is over 6.3% per annum in recent
years. This growth was broad based with industry growing 7.3% .The share of industry in GDP
increasing slightly to 29.3% from 29 % a year ago. According to Government projections, real
GDP growth is projected to remain above 10% per annum over the impetus to growth. This
reflects a shift in the structure of economy toward developing manufacturing sector and
promoting imports substitution.
The Ethiopian economy continued to register growth in 2020/21 amid the instability in northern
part of the country and the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. During the review fiscal year, real
GDP showed a 6.3 percent growth, slightly higher than the 6.1 percent growth last year.
The growth of real GDP was 3.7 percentage point lower than the average growth rate target set in
the Ten Years Development Plan, but significantly higher than the 3.4 percent growth estimate of
the Sub - Saharan African countries (IMF and WEO Update, June 2020).
Feasibility study on metal welding
The growth of real GDP in 2020/21 was attributed to the growth of industry (7.3 percent),
services (6.3 percent) and agriculture (5.5 percent). Nominal GDP per capita stood at USD
1,092, depicting a 1.1 percent marginal improvement relative to the previous year.
The growth of the Ethiopian economy is projected at 8.7 percent in 2021/22 compared to 4.9
percent growth forecast for the world and 3.8 percent for Sub- Saharan Africa economies (IMF,
WEO, and October 2021).
This ever blooming industry seems to be growing the fastest with recent years showing
maximum growth. The welding industry has been approximately stated to grow at the very least
6% per year. Conventional electric arc welding equipment and filler metals represent over two-
thirds of this total.
Habtom kflemariam metal welding plc Plans to become the leading provider of metal wilding
product and service in the area. This means always having the best and most efficient facilities,
processes, and people. To achieve this plan Habtom kflemariam metal welding plc is investing in
many ways that will pay off in competitive advantage for its customer.

Operational manager
Generally, it takes about 14 month’s period for obtaining loan, finalizing the suppliers and
construction of various civil structures and installation of plant and machinery. Educated and
skilled manpower will be recruited before machinery installation and commissioning to provide
first hand training to newly employed workers by the engineers installing the machineries and
make trial production together. Proper planning needs to be done so as to take up various
activities without any break. The activity wise schedule of implementation is to be given in the
project.
The project is expected to start commercial production in June 2025 while the remaining months
in 2023 and part of the months in 2024 are assumed to be the project's implementation period.
Detail planned schedule of the company is kept in the following here under.

The annual repair and maintenance cost of the plant is estimated based on the following rates.
9.1.3. Depreciation
The following depreciation rates are applied to depreciate the assets of the project:
The working capital requirement of the project during operation is calculated on the basis of the
minimum days of coverage needed for the different elements of the working capital. Hence, the
minimum days are specified as follows:-
The project planned to produce primarily wield metal products such as Forming, Rolling, Tube
Steel, Flat Plate, Angles, shaft, half bearing, counter wick, safety stand, hospital bed production,
farming wheel spare parts, Milling Sawing and shearing, Plasma cutting Lathe work Drilling by
mobilizing fund from equity and bank loan. The bank loan is proposed to cover 80% of the total
project establishment cost while the rest 20% will be covered from equity.
The following factors are taken into considerations with regard loan to be borrowed from
domestic banks
Interest rate on loan borrowed is assumed to 13% which is line with the lending interest
rate of the investment bank in the country for prioritized projects.
Grace period is assumed to be at least for 6 month period which is assumed during the
implementation period until the company enters the market
The total loan is expected to be repaid in period of seven years
Based on the several assessments of the project, the project requires a loan of Birr 5,681,698Birr
Million from external sources. As the detail assessment results shows the loan will be settled
without any problem. The loan will be obtained from development bank of Ethiopia. The
principal repayment shall be made based on the amortization loan repayment system. An interest
rate of 13 % will be paid for the loan per annum on the outstanding balance payable on yearly
basis together with the principal repayment amount.
9.1.7. Revenue
After assessing the current market situation and period required to fully adopting the technology,
the project is proposed to start at 80% of its capacity in the initial year, 85% 2nd year, 95% third
year and 100% capacity is expected to be attained in the fourth.
