Dar es Salaam. Tanzania’s industrialisation drive has gained fresh momentum following the launch of an $8.8 million apparel manufacturing plant by global safety wear manufacturer Portwest.

The facility, which began operations this week in Dar es Salaam, strengthens the country’s ambition to position itself as a regional hub for industrial textiles and personal protective equipment (PPE).
