Manufacturing & Industrial Production Sector – Project Overview
Ethiopia’s manufacturing sector is expanding rapidly, driven by industrialization, export growth, and investment in modern production facilities. Firanbon Consultancy PLC (FEC PLC) plays a key role in supporting this progress by delivering high-quality Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA), Environmental & Social Management Plans (ESMP), and environmental audits for manufacturing plants across the country.
Below is a full list of manufacturing and industrial production projects completed by Firanbon, each with a brief, clear description.
1. METEC – Bearing Factory Project (Debre Birhan Industrial Park)
Firanbon conducted a full EIA for the METEC Bearing Factory, examining industrial emissions, hazardous waste handling, worker safety, and environmental compliance inside Debre Birhan Industrial Park.
2. Mega Printing PLC – Printing Products Manufacturing Expansion
We prepared both an EIA and ESMP for Mega Printing, addressing chemical usage, air emissions, wastewater, and safety measures to support their large-scale printing production.
3. Aluminum & Furniture Assembly Plant – Alfiya Trading PLC (Dukem, Oromia)
Our team assessed environmental risks, energy consumption, waste generation, and production impacts for the development of an aluminum and furniture assembly factory.
4. Polystyrene Foam Packaging Manufacturing Plant (Holeta, Oromia)
Firanbon completed an EIA evaluating chemical handling, emissions control, plastic waste management, and the environmental footprint of foam production.
5. Polypropylene Bag Manufacturing Plant (Shashemene, Oromia)
