1. INTRODUCTION
In dynamic Socio-economic environment, like the one currently exist in Ethiopia, the growth of
industry and supportive construction based manufacturing sector has a great role to make the
overall economic growth to be consistent. The government of Ethiopia has a conducive
investment polices and guidelines that promote the private sectors involvement in the economic
development through the various investment and business endeavors.
In this regard, the owner of the envisioned Metal and Metal Products factory planned to invest in
Adola town, Oromia Regional State and carried out this pre-project study to check the market,
technical and financial feasibility of this project. The result of the study is very sound and
promising for the owner to start the project in this area.
The promoter is very determined to commence the project. Hence, he expects to get the required
support from the regional and local governments to make the project operational.
Ethiopia has a great economic potential in Africa. The current dynamic economic growth in all
sectors supports the idea to become a great nation. Agriculture is the backbone of the economy.
High improvement in terms of productivity and efficiency of this sector will strongly support the
development of other sectors (in backward and forward linkages).
Similar to the overall Ethiopian economy, the construction sector as one part of the economy is
increasing fatly. Hence, parallel growth of construction firms and construction materials
manufactures are vital to keep this growth of the sector in specific and economy in general
sustainably.
In this regard, roofing nail iron is an important element in Ethiopia. Widespread recognition of
this importance has led to concern amongst conservation practitioners regarding adequate fix
structures and durability. Besides, currently roofing Metal and Metal Products and Elevator
Assembly Steel are very demandable in Ethiopia and other African countries. However, there are
no enough producers in this area to make the price low and supply to be smooth.

To all the above facts the parallel growth in complementary (supportive) sectors of the economy
is vital to sustain it. In relation to this, the owner of the envisioned factory interested to engage in
the sector that has government development focus apart from huge market potentials.
Therefore, manufacturing of Modern lift, Steel Elevator Assembly and Barbed Elevator
Assembly are very important for the development of the nation. Modern lift is a large rectangular
box of netted Elevator Assembly (Steel) used in civil engineering works. Modern lift has long
been used as a transition method of construction and engineering for protecting river banks from
erosion, for hardening the shoulder of roads and the face of slopes to prevent landslide. Modern
lift is also used for the foundation of water reservoirs.
In line with the above facts, the government of Ethiopia has implementing the five years Growth
and Transformation Plan(11/2017-15/2021) that aimed to achieve wider development spectrum
in all sectors with a special emphasis to agricultural development that will realize the formation
of industrialized and middle income earned. In this plan, crop production and productivity,
irrigation, environmental protection and improved water use, technology multiplication, food
security and supply and distribution are among the main strategy for agriculture and rural
development strategies.
The main objective of this factory/plant is to manufacture different types, cost effective Modern
lift Box, Steel Elevator Assembly, and Barbed Elevator Assembly and Metal and Metal Products
mainly the roofing nail products for domestic market and international market in the future.

By producing and supplying variety, high quality and cost efficient Metal and Metal Products,
Modern lift Box, Steel Elevator Assembly and Barbed Elevator Assembly, it will satisfy the need
of the consumers.
2. Source of Revenue
As public policy of any nation, the government collects different forms of taxes from different
business organizations and individuals. Among the different forms of taxes, business income
taxes, VAT and payroll tax are collected from undertaking business activities. Therefore, the
project will serve as sources of revenue for both the region and nation in general.
3. Employment opportunity
One of the problems that our country faced is unemployment. Therefore, the current objective of
the government is working on tackling the problem of unemployment and fostering the
development process either through creating self-employment or employment in other
organization. Hence, this project will hire 360 citizens.
By producing and supplying roof Nail products, the factory will save the foreign currency of the
nation. When it starts export to other African market, the company will generate hard/foreign
currency to the nation.
The project will contribute for environmental protection and agricultural development by
producing Modern Lift Box and Steel Elevator Assembly.

PROJECT PROPOSAL ON METAL PRODUCT MANUFACTURING
The market study analysis for Metal and Metal Products, Modern Lift Box, Steel Elevator
Assembly and Barbed Elevator Assembly are mainly related with the dynamic growing of the
construction and Agricultural sector.
The statistics for Metal and Metal Products, Modern Lift Box, Steel Elevator Assembly and
Barbed Elevator Assembly are merged with the complementary goods. Hence, this project will
use the aggregated data’s.
The Ethiopian economy has been experiencing dynamic and double digit growth that
experienced annual average growth of 11.4% in past 8 years. According to Ministry of Finance
and Economic Development (MOFED), the forecasted economic growth the economic growth
(GDP at constant basic price) for 2011/2012 is estimated to be 10.4 %. As per the estimates,
annual growth rates of the major sectors, i.e. Agriculture, industry and service were 7.6 %, 10.6
% and 13.0 %; respectively and their shares out of the total GDP were 42%, 13% and 45 %,
respectively. This continuous and a-two-digit high growth would place Ethiopia among the fast
growing countries in the world.
As sectors of the economy, the agriculture and construction sector also grows with double digit
with the average annual growth 10.31% and 12% respectively in the past 8 years. As shown in
the table below the growth of the sectors directly related with the economy as parts of the
economy.
project proposal On Metal Product Manufacturing Factory
This fast growth of these sectors resulted from different bodies like government, non-
government and private activities in Ethiopia is growing in the fastest rate. Moreover, the current
five years Ethiopian Growth and transformation plan will expand the current agriculture,
infrastructure, residential (Condominium) and buildings in paramount level.
In Economics, there exists direct relationship between sect oral development and complementary
equipment’s and materials. As economic science proved the demand for complementary goods
(goods that will consume together like fuel and car) have positive relationship. This means when
the demand for one good increase the corresponding complementary good demand also increase
automatically with different rate depending on the nature of good.
Page | 13
project proposal On Metal Product Manufacturing Factory
The fastest growth of construction and Agricultural sector created the fast and bulk demand for
construction (building) materials. Since Metal and Metal Products, Modern Lift Box, Steel
Elevator Assembly and Barbed Elevator Assembly are among the main complementary materials
for these sectors particularly, the corresponding demands for these products are also increase.
Therefore, Metal and Metal Products, Modern Lift Box, Steel Elevator Assembly and Barbed
Elevator Assembly have the highest demand.
Metal and Metal Products and iron sheet are consumed in all construction works and in furniture
and fixtures workshops. The current demand for the product is met through domestic production
and imports.
The demand for nail, Elevator Assembly Steel and Barbered Elevator Assembly production is
alarmingly increasing as the construction sector is booming in Ethiopia due to the increase in the
number of population of the country and the increasing the level of income.
As indicated in the table below the past demand for Elevator Assembly Steel, Barbered Elevator
Assembly and nail show a significance growth per annual. The future demand is calculated
assuming this past demand for Metal and Metal Products to increase at an average of 10% per
annum while the domestic production will increase at an average of 5%.

The recent years import of Modern Lift boxes is negligible as the production locally both in
industry and handicraft level are highly being exercised. Therefore, the current local production
capacity has reached of Modern Lift products with different dimension. The historical data on
the unsatisfied demand for the barbed Elevator Assembly which met through, spanning the years
2000-2006 shown in the table below;

1. Nail
Metal and Metal Products are used mainly in fixing corrugated iron sheet roofs, walls or fenced
construction. The predominant roofing material in urban Ethiopia is galvanized corrugated iron
sheet and capped Metal and Metal Products are used in fixing the corrugated iron sheets.
Applications:
• Control and guide of water or flood
• Flood bank or guiding bank
• Prevention of rock breaking
• Water and soil protection
Page | 20
project proposal On Metal Product Manufacturing Factory
• Bridge protection
• Strengthening structure of soil
• Protection engineering of seaside area
• Seaport engineering
• Isolation walls
• Protection of road
Advantage:
Flexibility
Flexibility is an important benefit of any Modern Lift structure. The double-twist hexagonal
Steel construction permits it to tolerate differential settlement without fracture. This property is
especially important when a structure is on unstable soil conditions or in areas where scour from
wave action or currents can undermine the toe of the structure and cause structural settlement.
Durability
Modern Lifts support plant growth which provides a live coating for the Elevator Assembly Steel
and stones, adding to their durability. Generally, the Elevator Assembly Steel is needed for the
first few years of the structure's life; later the void between the stones is filled with soil, silt, and
plant roots which act as a bonding agent for the stones.
Strength
Steel Elevator Assembly hexagonal Steel has strength and flexibility to withstand forces
generated by water and earth masses, and the pervious nature of the Modern Lift allows it to
absorb and dissipate much of that energy. This is evident on coast protection installations where
Modern Lift structures remain effective long after a massive rigid structure fails. Additionally,
the double twisted hexagonal Steel won't unravel if cut.
3. Barbed Elevator Assembly
Page | 21
project proposal On Metal Product Manufacturing Factory
Elevator Assembly Materials: Galvanized steel Elevator Assembly, PVC coated iron Elevator
Assembly in blue, green, yellow and other colors.
The envisioned company will manufacture barbed Elevator Assembly with specified line
Elevator Assembly and barb Elevator Assembly diameters, barb spacing, zinc coating (class of
galvanizing) and length of Elevator Assembly per roll.
Rolls are shipped with Elevator Assembly handles for easy handling and the rolls packaged on
pallets. Because of our very high volume mass production our prices on container load quantities
are the most competitive to be found.
General Use: Barbed Elevator Assembly mainly serves in protecting of grass boundary, railway,
highway, etc.
Page | 22
project proposal On Metal Product Manufacturing Factory
One of the most commonly used types of Steel are welded Elevator Assembly Steel. This is often
used in concrete construction, as the Steel can be laid down before the concrete is poured. The
concrete can then be poured around the Steel, and once it sets, the concrete will have a higher
tensile strength because the Elevator Assembly Steel contained within will help stabilize the
often brittle concrete. This type of Steel is often used in place of steel rebar, which is a series of
interconnected steel rods. Steel tends to be easier to install and it comes at a lower cost than rebar
for concrete projects.
Picture of Steel Elevator Assembly
The raw material for the production of the projection of the projects output (Nail) is Elevator
Assembly rod, packaging materials and other inputs. It will be supplied from over sea market.
The main raw materials for Modern Lift Box, Steel Elevator Assembly and Barbed Elevator
Assembly are 2mm galvanized steel Elevator Assembly; 0.75mm galvanized steel Elevator
Assembly, warping cloth and etc. The raw materials and accessories can be obtained from local
markets and from outside (international market). However, the major problem related to raw
materials is that it is subject to significant variations in price. As a result, the project's normal
operations are usually hampered by this situation.
Page | 23
project proposal On Metal Product Manufacturing Factory
The envisioned plant will employ the following production process and techniques for the
production of roofing Metal and Metal Products, Modern Lift Box, Steel Elevator Assembly and
Barbed Elevator Assembly.
Manufacturing of Metal and Metal Products passes through the following steps.
3.3.2. Galvanized Modern Lift Box, Steel Elevator Assembly and Barbed Elevator
Assembly
Modern Lift Steel is the Modern Lift which is woven by the hexagonal Steel machine. The
diameters and thickness depend on the Steel size. The diameter used is between 2-4mm if the
raw material is zinc coated, while the diameter will be 3-4.5m if the material is pvc-coated
Elevator Assembly. The selvage Elevator Assembly diameter is usually one gauge ticker than the
body Elevator Assembly diameter. The box is then made manually for the appropriate box
dimension.
A single automated machine performs all the steps needed to transform the galvanized Elevator
Assembly into Barbed Elevator Assembly and Steel Elevator Assembly. Two Elevator Assembly
are fed into machine and twisted together to form the cable. Another Elevator Assembly is fed
into machine from the side and twisted around one or both cable Elevator Assembly.
Page | 24
project proposal On Metal Product Manufacturing Factory
This Elevator Assembly is cut at angle on both sides to form point barb. Two Elevator Assembly
are twisted and cut together if four point barbs are needed. The barbed Elevator Assembly is
wound onto spools and cut into 100m lengths.
The project requires relatively less complex machineries and equipment. The list of the
machineries and equipment’s are shown below in the table below;
1. Machineries and Equipment’s for Metal and Metal Products Production
Page | 25
project proposal On Metal Product Manufacturing Factory
The project will use galvanized manufacturing technology to Metal and Metal Products,
Modern Lift Box, Steel Elevator Assembly and Barbed Elevator Assembly.
Metal and Metal Products are product made from pieces of metal pointed at one end and flat or
umbrella headed at the other. They join articles by being hammered through them. The flat
headed Metal and Metal Products are consumed by construction workers for joining wooden
structures and by carpenters; while the umbrella shaped Metal and Metal Products are consumed
in every building construction when galvanized sheets are used for roofing purpose. These
products can be produced as per the required sizes. This technology will be imported from china.
The Elevator Assembly are obtained, the process of converting them into Modern Lift Box, Steel
Elevator Assembly, Barbed Elevator Assembly and galvanized Modern Lift Box, Steel Elevator
Assembly, Barbed Elevator Assembly only requires galvanizing.
