Dream Of "Along The Way", Why Did He Choose To Venture In Africa?

"At the end of 2019, the employees of Antai (Ethiopia) reached 15000."

Qian Anhua, chairman of Antai group, set up this year's business goal.

The textile enterprise from Zhejiang, China, has planned to invest in Ethiopia in the second half of 2017. It plans to invest 200 million US dollars in three phases, and set up a complete production capacity production base from fabric production to garment processing in Adama (Adama) city, 80 kilometers southeast of Ethiopia, Addisababa (Addis Ababa).

In October 2018, after the successful completion of the opening ceremony of the Adama Industrial Park, Aetna esse branch successfully overcame many difficulties and put it into operation smoothly.

In December 30, 2018, the first box export ceremony of Aetna esse branch ended perfectly, becoming the first foreign enterprise to achieve foreign exchange earning in Adama Industrial Park.

At present, the area of Antai Essex branch is 140 thousand square meters, of which the factory covers an area of over 80 thousand square meters and employs more than 3000 people.

From February 2018 to August, An Tai Ethiopian branch dispatched 100 Ethiopian students to receive skills training at Deqing County headquarters in Deqing County, Huzhou, Zhejiang.

After a year of hard work, most of the trainees have gradually stepped into managerial positions and become the local backbone of the company's opening up in Ethiopia.

Since September 2018, when Antai Essex Branch officially entered the Adama Industrial Park, 1500 people from around the village have been recruited to help the local government solve the problem of re employment of farmers in the relocation of industrial parks.

After a year of vocational training, the concept of employees' survival and life has also changed, from laziness, unruly leave to work on time, and mutual help and fraternity.

There are no public pportation and some employees walk 5 kilometers to work. In order to encourage and promote employment, Antai Ethiopia invested and hired the bus to pick up the staff and solve the problem of workers' difficulty in work.

Because of the backward infrastructure in most rural areas, most families use donkeys or manpower to pport water from the water source 5-10 kilometers away. In order to solve the problem of drinking water for employees, they buy drinking water from the market for their employees to drink, and become the first company in Adama to solve the problem of drinking water safety.

In March 2019, when the rainy season came, the company distributed free raincoat for every employee, humane care to the details, put every employee in the heart, hoping that they would be proud of the "Antai people".

This international and humanized management mode has been strongly commended by the Adama municipal government.

Knowledge is the beginning of action and action is the accomplishment of knowledge.

Antai textile settled in Ethiopia, becoming a true map of the "one belt and one road" construction.
