Adidome Ceramics Company Limited
Adidome Ceramics Company, Ghana\'s leading brick factory uses the high quality local clays in Adidome for all of its production using two brick production lines (one Brazilian and one German). No imported materials are used in producing our brick products.
Firing of the bricks and tiles is undertaken in 3 kilns, each of 19,000 brick capacity per firing, plus a smaller pottery kiln. A 5th kiln has recently been built with a much larger capacity of 120,000 bricks per firing (= 10 two-bedroom houses per firing) and this will be commissioned in 2013 to massively increase the production capacity of the company.
This will enable the company to service the large housing projects, multiple school projects and new university projects in Ghana. Adidome Ceramics has exported products to Togo and Benin.
All products exceed Ghana Standards Board’s quality specifications and EU quality specifications for strength and durability. The activities of our operations include:- 1. Manufacture of fired clay bricks, clay roof tile, clay paving blocks, “thin-brick” slices for cladding walls, hollow clay blocks and artistic terracotta pottery.
Products can be sent to any part of Ghana with our own vehicle and to neighbouring countries, including Togo and Benin 2. Construction of energy-efficient houses in clay bricks using our experienced bricklayers. 3. Construction of incinerators for hospitals to enable them to safely dispose of medical waste 4. Construction of energy-efficient bread ovens, pizza ovens and charcoal kilns. 5. International consultancy in the clay brick, ceramics and industrial minerals industries worldwide for international agencies, private companies, private equity firms and development banks (projects completed in over 80 countries) All of our clay brick and tile products are fired under controlled conditions to a high temperature of over 1,020 deg C to ensure high strength and durability. The bricks are a beautiful natural red colour with different hues, including purple and black colours in some of the bricks, which ensures wonderful, distinctive buildings.
The bricks have a natural cooling effect on buildings, which saves on energy and can eliminate the need for air conditioners. .
