Geneva-based Bezema Dyes and Chemicals has unveiled first of its kind textile chemicals & dyestuff bonded warehouse in Ethiopia to facilitate country-wide sourcing.

The new warehouse, located in south-west of Addis Ababa, is believed to ease the problems of scarcity of chemicals that the Ethiopian textile industry is facing at present.

According to industry data, Ethiopian textile sector each year imports around 10,000 tons of different types of chemicals and 400 tons of dyestuffs.

The Textile Industry Development Institute of Ethiopia selected Bezema, a sister concern of Switzerland-based CHT/BEZEMA AG for setting up the facility after holding discussions with two other companies - Switzerland’s Textile Color and Turkey’s Rose Textile.

Pursuant to its selection, Bezema has also unveiled plans to set up a chemicals and dyes manufacturing plant in Ethiopia.
