After years of innovations, experiments and exhibitions, the Great Kosa Automobile Company Limited is set to begin commercial production of vehicles in Ghana.

The company, which is owned by renowned Ghanaian industrialist, Apostle Kwadwo Safo, the founder of Kristo Asafo Mission, has successfully put its new automobile assembling plant to test.

Seven sleek Kantanka-branded vehicles three 4X4 Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) and four pick-ups produced from the assembling plant at Gomoa Mpota in the Central Region, are set to hit the roads as the company stands ready to begin commercial automobile production.

According to an interior decorator of the company, Mr Kwasi Frimpong, who conducted a Daily Graphic team round the assembling plant, at the moment, the facility could produce four 4X4 SUV and four pick-up vehicles daily.

But officials of the company say in the long term, the assembling plant will produce at least 20 vehicles daily.

The assembling plant was installed in April 2014, following a collaboration with a Chinese investor.

Mr Frimpong says there are plans to establish another plant for the production of saloon cars in the near future.
