Hongdefa story with Zimbabwe for maize milling machines and wheat flour milling machines

Zimbabwe is one of the oldest countries in Africa. It called Africa London or Africa granary. Zimbabwe is a great country with very nice people. we do business with Zimbabwe for more than 15 years for maize mill machines and wheat flour mill machines.

Since 2006, we set up our office in Harare, our Chinese engineer is always there. 
In 2007, we set up a 120tons per day wheat flour mill project in Zimbabwe, and at that time we opened a bakery factory in the Msasa industry zone also. The wheat flour which is for making bread is from our flour factory. The bakery business is very good. There are long lines in the bakery every day and wait to buy the bread. Business is very good.

Zimbabwe bread

See, they use so much money, but just only buy one bread, The inflation was becoming more and more serious.
The economic environment is particularly bad. So we sold our bakery factory, and move the branch office to Lusaka, Zambia. But we still always do business with Zimbabwe people.

In 2015, we visited our old customers. Our engineers train and teach them how to fix the machines to get the best quality flour.

Training in the flour milling factory

This is our oldest customers, who bought our machines in 2006 and run the machines in 2007. this customer is very famous in Harare even in Zimbabwe.

So many people buy his flour, they are from Harare, Gweru, Bulawayo even South Africa. after 5 years of development, he enlarged the business for animal feed field and rice business field.

He trusts us a lot because he particularly likes our after-sales service and many spare parts for other equipment, he asks us to purchase for him in China.
