A major boost just hit the construction world in Malawi thanks to a huge cash injection for brand-new heavy equipment. The local industry has struggled for years with not having enough machines.
Immanuel Ndilowe runs Immas Building Contractors and says they spent K1.5 billion on fresh earth-moving equipment. His company bought several types of machines straight from China, including special trailers, loaders with hammers, dump trucks, cranes, bulldozers, lifts, and concrete tools.
The company picked new machines instead of used ones because they know firsthand how frustrating equipment rental can be. Their trucks move loads across borders without delays, which speeds up project timelines for everyone. Many builders face serious holdups when they try to find available machinery because the waiting lists stretch out forever.
Other construction pros already love this news. Madalitso Makwecha from New Vision Construction says they've always faced problems finding heavy equipment since very few companies actually have these machines. He believes the new fleet will help everyone finish jobs faster and deliver better results across Malawi.
