Development Plans

Marcopolo is the first Company in ZAMBIA to set up the state of art Manufacturing Plant for tiles. The Company has completed the Second phase
in its Development Plan at a total project cost of USD 80,000,000 to meet the Zambian consumer demand. The objective of the investment is to
enhance capacity in SADC region and to have sufficient headroom to produce different tile designs rather than disrupting one production line
to process while changing parts of the machine when a need to produce a different tile design arises.
