 It is the second to be built in the West Africa sub-region after the one in Nigeria. It is a pioneer in the field and the only factory in Africa that produces computers, casings and speakers from completely-knock-down components.

The factory which is currently operating at 25 percent capacity utilization would roll out 48,000 fully-built PCs, 120,000 casings and 120,000 speakers per annum.  Mrs. Florence Seriki, Managing Director of Omatek Ventures Limited (OVL), who took media personnel round the factory said the company was producing Omatek brand of computers ranging from desktops, notebooks and servers for both local and foreign markets.

She said the company has the capacity to produce casings and speakers of different forms and sizes for other local and foreign brand builders.  She said the brand casings could be customized to suit various corporate clients and any other organization that may require such value added services of having their company's logo or names printed on them.

Mrs. Siriki used the occasion to introduce the Omatek smallest 8 and 10 inch computer notebooks onto the Ghanaian market.  She said the two computer notebooks were built specifically with the youth both at tertiary and secondary schools and the Ghanaian environment in mind. 

She said the new releases were the most current classic notebook that not only replaced the tablet notebook but their lightness was incomparable with any notebook. She said they are assembled locally and have added to the technology transfer required for the country's ICT development.
