Plastic manufacturing company, Polytank Ghana Limited, on Tuesday unveiled its Sumo Super Water Storage Tank in Accra.
Having an inbuilt anti-bacterial property to help protect algae formation and other microbes, the Sumo Super is Africa’s first three-layer water storage tank.
It also has UV stabilisers that can withstand all weather conditions and expand the lifespan of the water storage tank.
Mr Ashok Mohinani, Executive Chairman, Mohinani Group, indicated that the Polytank three-layer Sumo Super had an unimaginable sturdiness and was able to withstand a drop from 25 feet height without breaking or getting damage.
He stated that the Sumo Super was being introduced in nine colours
and urged all to visit Polytank shops across the country to get the product for their homes, offices and communities.
Mr Mohinani indicated that for them at Polytank Ghana, bringing innovative products had ceased to be just about dominating the market.
“It is not just about bringing products that will be market leaders in their classes. For us, bringing products is about the next generation. It is about preserving the future and sustainability,” he added.
Chief Director, Ministry of Sanitation and Water Resources, Mr Noah Tumfo, congratulated Polytank for its foresightedness in introducing ground breaking technologies in water storage tank manufacturing business that scale up access to potable water by consumers in all the strata of the economy.
“Polytank Ghana continues to prove that, right in this country, world-class innovative products can be produced and exported around the continent, if not to the world,” he added.
Mr Tumfo said the ministry welcomed the all-new three-layer Sumo Super into the market because of its immense benefits to the consumer in storing safe drinking water for both domestic and industrial use.
“As a Ministry, our utmost concern is not only to provide access to water for all Ghanaians but also to ensure that the water that is being consumed is safe. “Therefore, having a good quality multi-layered water storage container is critical,” he added.
Mr Tumfo used the opportunity to commend Polytank for its partnership with the government to close the gaps and address the shortfalls associated with providing access to clean and safe water storage to all Ghanaians, especially, those in rural and low-income areas.
“Let me end by reiterating our ministry’s support to work hand in hand with Polytank to ensure that their objective of providing safe water storage solutions in the country is realised,” he added
