President Chakwera praised Coca-Cola Beverages Malawi for helping the economy with its new PET production line at the launch event in Kanengo, Lilongwe, on Thursday. The president said this modern facility supports the second pillar of Malawi's 2063 Vision, which is about strengthening industry. He believes factories remain important for Malawi to become wealthy without outside help.
He thanked the company for creating jobs and supporting innovation through smart investments. Other businesses should follow this example by starting projects that employ people and add value to local materials. The private sector plays a key role in turning government plans into real progress. Trade Minister Vitumbiko Mumba appreciated how Coca-Cola matches the ATMM plan for growing the economy through agriculture, tourism, mining, and manufacturing.
Neil French from Coca-Cola shared that their $14.9 million production line uses artificial intelligence to work better. The system reduces problems and makes everything run more efficiently than others in the area. The French thanked the government for making rules that limit unnecessary imports and help local businesses grow. These policies let Coca-Cola spend money on training people and creating jobs locally.
