Pfunda Tea Factory
In November 2004 the tea estate and factory moved from Government control to Imporient ownership and the whole complex is now vastly different having undergone extensive changes. In the last two and a half years substantial investment has taken place in the plant and the difference has been immeasurable in providing not only a superb factory with the capacity for increased production, but also introducing new employment and improved infrastructure to the area and bringing well being into the local community. Around 150 people are employed on site working 8 hour shifts day and night.
The investment has also meant the installation of new machinery and the factory is now totally self sufficient. The repair shops and maintenance gangs maintain every conceivable piece of machinery on site and where required rebuilt within their own workshops.
